VIENNA & DÜSSELDORF, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HSBC Transaction Services relies on the new IT solution of Software Daten Service (SDS) to meet the requirements of the American Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for securities trading. The US FATCA regulations will become effective as of 2013. Until then, all securities processing service providers worldwide have to meet the requirements of the IRS Reporting with one software product for all client institutions.
The SDS solution "FATCA Reporting Engine" covers all quality requirements of HSBC, Germany's largest securities processing service provider. Dr. Thorsten Warmt, member of the management board of HSBC Transaction Services, comments on the decision for the one-stop solution: "SDS' FATCA Reporting Engine integrates perfectly into our system environment and is for us the most efficient solution for the implementation of FATCA. The product offers a complete reporting solution able to fulfil the IRS requirements. Several preliminary talks with SDS gave us confidence in a competent implementation."
The mandatory requirements from the tax and legal reporting area become more varied, complex and burden business finance with ever shorter lead times. "We appreciate HSBC Transaction Services' trust in our product. We provide our customers with a cost-efficient and comprehensive solution for FATCA requirements at an early stage", says Ernst Kendlbacher, managing director of Software Daten Service.
The final regulations which will be published by the American Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the summer of 2012 will be incorporated automatically into the FATCA Reporting Engine by SDS.
Software Daten Service (SDS), a subsidiary of T-Systems, specialises in the development of banking software, in particular for international securities processing. With the GEOS Suite, SDS offers a software for the real-time processing of securities and derivatives for international financial services providers such as retail, private and transaction banks as well as custodians.
