Enterprise: Venues & APAs
Every reporting obligation,
one connection.
For trading venues and APAs: reporting obligations to every tape (EU Bond CT, UKCT, TRACE), MiFIR post-trade transparency, MiFIR transaction reporting, delivered as a managed service. One pipeline, every destination.
The problem
One venue.
Six vendors.
One fragmented stack.
The live regulatory-reporting stack at a mid-sized trading venue is a sprawl: one vendor for the EU tape, another for the UK tape, a third for TRACE where US names are crossed, an ARM for transaction reports, an APA for post-trade transparency, an internal team for deferral logic, and a compliance function carrying the reconciliation burden each vendor disclaims. Each vendor charges per-report, per-field, or per-destination. The aggregate cost is materially higher than a single integrated solution, and the operational risk is concentrated in the seams between vendors that were never designed to work together. Ediphy collapses that into one pipeline.
Everything a venue or APA owes,
in one contract.
Four obligation families, every destination, flat fee.
6+ tapes covered
EU Bond CT, UKCT, TRACE, and the long tail of national tapes and reference sources. Additions to the tape landscape land as product releases, included in your subscription.
EU · UK · US · NATIONAL
MiFIR post-trade transparency
Post-trade transparency publication across equity and non-equity under MiFIR, with the instrument-classification logic and deferral entitlement built in.
MIFIR · TRANSPARENCY
ARM; MiFIR transaction reporting
Transaction reporting to national competent authorities under the client's own ARM authorisation; Ediphy provides the technical reporting service, with validation against the tape and the trade store.
MIFIR · ARM
Deferral logic + receipts
Deferral eligibility computed per trade, applied automatically, and evidenced with per-submission receipts. When the regulator requests evidence, the receipts are already on the record.
DEFERRAL · RECEIPTS
Seven managed services,
one integration point.
Each service delivers standalone value. Combined, they become a single reporting hub, multiple Consolidated Tapes plus MiFIR transparency and transaction reporting, all from one data transmission.
Integration gateway
A single unified API for contribution to every relevant tape, EU Bond CT, UKCT, and the rest. Integrate once against a stable spec; Ediphy assumes the technical risk of adapting the gateway to each official CTP specification as it is released.
EARLY · NORMALISED API
Pre-launch data quality
Submit production trade data before the tape goes live; get detailed quality scores back so your teams can remediate. Proves proactive diligence to regulators and removes the unknown around dynamic quality scoring at launch.
SAAS · BENCHMARKED
Deferral, buffering & filtering
Automated application of MiFIR publication deferrals, out-of-hours buffering, and trade-flow filtering against a continuously updated list of reportable instruments. Every reportable obligation covered; no extraneous submissions.
DEFERRAL · AUTOMATED
APA client quality hub
A workflow solution for APAs: ingest CTP quality scores, map them to the originating client submission, and drive an automated improvement loop. Turn superior data quality into a competitive differentiator your clients can see.
APA-SPECIFIC · WORKFLOW
Reporting assurance
Line-by-line reconciliation of your golden-source trade logs against what was actually submitted to the tape. Real-time alerts on any under- or over-reporting risk as it emerges, in real time.
REALTIME
Unified MiFIR transparency
Pre- and post-trade transparency publication running on the same engine as your CT contributions. Consistent deferral and eligibility logic across every reporting channel, no parallel stacks, no drift.
MIFIR · TRANSPARENCY · UNIFIED
MiFIR transaction reporting
End-to-end transaction reporting to the relevant NCA: enrichment, validation, submission, and ACK/NACK processing. Outsource the most operationally complex reporting obligation to a team that does this as its core business.

Six vendors, or one
The reporting-stack consolidation.
A legacy reporting stack at a mid-sized venue runs five or six vendors with overlapping responsibilities and divergent SLAs. Each addition compounds the integration burden; none of them are accountable for the seams. The matrix on the right is what a typical consolidation looks like.
| Ediphy (one contract) | Legacy multi-vendor stack | |
|---|---|---|
| EU CT contribution | Vendor A | |
| UKCT contribution | Vendor B | |
| TRACE contribution | Vendor C | |
| Transaction reporting (ARM) | Vendor D | |
| Transparency publication (APA) | Vendor E | |
| Deferral logic | Internal team | |
| Reconciliation against the tape | Compliance team | |
| Onboarding new tape | Included | New vendor search |
EEA MARKET STRUCTURE
The reporting estate, by the numbers.
Role in the ecosystem
A level playing field,
by design.
Ediphy operates under two clearly separated roles. As the technology partner to fairCT, Ediphy is formally contracted to build and maintain the core infrastructure of the consolidated tape, a role governed by operational and legal firewalls. As a technology partner to you, the services described here are optional commercial offerings; when Ediphy consumes tape data for them, it does so as a data subscriber using the same standard published APIs and the same public fee schedule as any other vendor. The firewall is the foundation of fairCT’s neutrality, and it is the foundation of the commercial relationship we have with venues and APAs.
Deployment
SaaS or bring-your-own-cloud,
your architecture, your call.
The Integration Gateway and Filtering Engine deploy in either model. SaaS gives you the fastest time-to-market with infrastructure and tape connectivity fully managed. BYOC deploys the components inside your own cloud perimeter, keeping your live trade data flow inside an environment you directly manage, the enterprise-grade standard when absolute control over data residency is required. The Pre-Launch Readiness and Data Quality service is SaaS-only, so that production data submitted for benchmarking is handled inside a dedicated assessment environment.
COO + compliance diligence
The questions a venue board asks.
Replacing a reporting stack is a board-visible decision. The questions below come up in every diligence cycle.
Where does our trade data sit? +
BYOC for the gateway and filtering layer, trade flow stays inside your cloud perimeter. The pre-launch readiness service is SaaS-only by design, so production data submitted for benchmarking is handled in a dedicated assessment environment.
Is the same firm that is technology partner to fairCT also running our reporting? +
Yes, and the firewall between the two roles is documented. As fairCT's technology partner, Ediphy operates under specific operational and legal separations. As your reporting-stack vendor, Ediphy consumes the tape using the same public APIs and fee schedule as any other consumer. The neutrality of fairCT depends on that separation.
How is the SLA structured? +
One SLA across the full reporting hub, uptime, submission timeliness, ACK/NACK handling, and incident response are sized per service tier and named in the contract.
How is a new tape onboarded? +
As a product release. When a new CT goes live, your subscription includes the connection.
