• Perform daily reconciliations using agent bank statements and notices (cash: principal/interest/fees; positions/holdings), investigate exceptions/breaks, and coordinate resolution with Agent Banks and internal stakeholders.
• Validate key loan trade attributes (borrower/facility, lender/participant, amounts, dates, rates/spreads, fees) and ensure accurate booking and timely completion of assigned tasks with adherence to control checks.
• Partner with onshore and internal support teams to clear exceptions within SLA and meet daily cut-offs.
• Handle ad-hoc queries from clients/onshore teams (allocation status, secondary settlement status, cash postings, fails) and maintain clear documentation of actions taken.

• Identify recurring loan settlement issues (documentation gaps, allocation mismatches, cash breaks), perform basic root-cause analysis, and suggest process improvements/automation opportunities to improve STP and reduce fails.
• Ensure SOPs/job aids are up to date; participate in regular reviews and knowledge transfer within the team.
• Maintain operational trackers and documents (error log, query log, process maps, SIPOC, FMEA, dashboards) and ensure timely updates for governance and reporting.

  Loan settlement closure refers to completing all required operational steps to confirm the loan trade/allocation is fully settled and accurately reflected across systems, cash, and positions, with all breaks resolved (or formally aged/escalated) and control evidence retained.

• Update operational trackers and closure status (settled/failed/aged), provide MI inputs, and communicate closure sign-off or outstanding risks to onshore stakeholders.
• For unresolved items, record root cause, agree next actions/owners, and escalate per governance to avoid repeat settlement issues.
