Roque Martinez - How Does SmartStream Help Banks Meet Customer Demands?
By Lauren Hinton · 17 May 2023

Roque Martinez, CTO at SmartStream RDU, explains how SmartStream helps banks to meet their customer demands in an environment where demands are significantly increasing.
SmartStream RDU (Reference Data Utility) delivers comprehensive reference data management solutions to financial institutions, ensuring data accuracy and regulatory compliance for efficient operations.
“If someone starts funding every day at 12 o’clock and they make their payments, and then it slips to 12:15, and then it slips to 12:30, then 1 o’clock. Is there some velocity? Is there something in those events that are saying this other counterparty is starting to have some liquidity issues? … So that’s one of the ways we are starting to look at all the data we’ve accomplished to see how we can improve.”
“We’re looking to provide as much clean reference data into the markets, so that their engines could then produce better quality algorithms.”
