Derivative Path, a provider of cloud-based capital markets technology, has announced a strategic partnership with CloudMargin, a leader in collateral and margin management solutions. This collaboration, unveiled on February 11, 2026, seeks to create a seamless front-to-back workflow for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and collateral management, aiming to enhance operational efficiency for regional and community banks as well as buy-side institutions.
The integration will connect Derivative Path’s DerivativeEDGE platform with CloudMargin’s collateral management system. By aligning these two technologies, the partnership addresses a crucial market demand: the need for a unified, automated, and audit-ready environment for managing front office activities, compliance, and collateral workflows. The initial phase of integration is currently underway, with the first clients set to begin onboarding shortly.
Enhancing Efficiency and Transparency
Zack Nagelberg, Chief Growth Officer at Derivative Path, emphasized the significance of this collaboration. He stated, “This partnership exemplifies what true complementarity looks like in capital markets technology. We’ve built DerivativeEDGE to serve as the system of record and pre-and post-trade workflow engine for OTC derivatives.” Nagelberg further noted that by integrating with CloudMargin’s leading collateral platform, the partnership aims to reduce workflow friction, thus increasing control, transparency, and scalability for clients.
Stuart Connolly, CEO of CloudMargin, echoed these sentiments, expressing pride in the alliance. “CloudMargin is proud to partner with Derivative Path to offer an end-to-end solution that transforms how banks and buy-side institutions manage their derivatives and collateral workflows,” he said. Connolly highlighted that the combination of their straight-through processing and automated margin workflow with Derivative Path’s established derivatives platform provides clients with a robust foundation for regulatory compliance and operational resilience.
Responding to Market Needs
This partnership comes at a time when the demand for efficient and transparent management of OTC derivatives is increasing. As regulatory pressures mount and operational complexities grow, financial institutions require solutions that streamline their processes while ensuring compliance. The integration of Derivative Path and CloudMargin’s technologies is poised to meet these challenges head-on.
The collaboration signifies a forward-looking approach to capital markets technology, combining comprehensive capabilities to enhance the client experience. With the financial landscape continually evolving, this partnership may well set a new standard for efficiency and operational excellence in the industry.
As the first clients prepare for onboarding, the financial community will be keenly watching the outcomes of this integration, which promises to deliver significant advancements in the management of derivatives and collateral workflows.
