Equipping you for CLS success

The Continuous Linked System (CLS) continues to expand its reach and influence in the world of foreign exchange. CGI has been a part of it since day one. In fact, we helped to define the system. Now we are working with a large number of CLS member banks globally, making sure they stay ahead of the game by taking advantage of the latest CLS features.

Our market-leading solution, CLS Manager, has been designed to provide member banks with the control, reconciliation and automation capabilities needed to drive the success of their CLS business. Because of its component-based, multi-tiered architecture, CLS Manager does all of this with ease.

CLS Manager seamlessly integrates with a bank’s IT environment, applications and financial messaging systems. Its architecture ensures a high-level of security and reliability, even if a bank regularly settles in excess of 400,000 trades per day. Its flexibility and scalability enables information to be delivered effortlessly between all internal departments, as well as third and fourth party organizations, regardless of size.

As the capabilities of CSL continue to expand and evolve, so do the features of CLS Manager.

  • Want to create new revenue? CLS Manager provides the same benefits to third-party customers of settlement members as it does to the members’ branches.
