Bladex has adopted Nasdaq Calypso, a leading capital‑markets and treasury‑management platform, to modernize its treasury operations. The platform will integrate front‑to‑back‑office workflows across asset classes, manage valuations, liquidity, risk, and regulatory compliance.
The adoption marks a significant operational milestone for Bladex, a bank founded by the central banks of 23 Latin American countries, and expands Nasdaq’s presence in the region. Implementation will occur in two phases: the first phase is expected to begin in 2026, with the final phase concluding by the end of 2027.
Bladex will use Calypso to replace or augment its legacy treasury system, enabling the bank to offer new treasury products such as interest‑rate derivative hedging, foreign‑exchange solutions, and, in the future, commodity trading. While the financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed, Bladex anticipates measurable efficiency gains and cost savings.
Nasdaq has recently enhanced Calypso with AI‑driven risk calculations and blockchain‑based collateral workflows, and the platform is now available as a fully managed service on Amazon Web Services. The partnership aligns with Bladex’s broader digital transformation strategy, which includes the adoption of CGI’s Trade360 platform in 2024.
The collaboration underscores Bladex’s commitment to strengthening trade finance and economic integration across Latin America and the Caribbean, while positioning Nasdaq as a leading treasury solutions provider in the region.
