About the Strategic Trade Flow (STF) Lab

The STF Lab, part of the Markets Platform, was established to drive the successful delivery of the Murex Migration Programme (MMP) while simultaneously enhancing our business-as-usual (BAU) capabilities. Our mission is to evolve and strengthen the strategic Murex application, enabling a broader range of products and processes that MMP will introduce.

Our team is structured into two dedicated product groups:Core Trade Management, which supports trade booking across Murex (FX & Commodities) and Summit (Rates & Credit); andFinancing & Collateral, which manages the Apex repo system and Colline for collateral management. As part of MMP, Summit, Apex, and Colline will be consolidated into the Murex platform, aligning with our goals of application rationalisation, cost efficiency, technology simplification, and improved risk management.

While transformation is a key focus, we're equally committed to maintaining a resilient and stable BAU environment to support ongoing business and client needs.
