This bank, which wished to remain anonymous, decided to innovate in terms of its transparency and proximity with its clients. With this action, this bank has become a pioneer bank in responsible finance by offering access to an independent valuation on its OTC derivative products.

This bank was looking for a trusty and recognized solution. After an assessment of the available solutions, it selected Price-it® online, Pricing Partner’s online platform, because of the reliability of valuations and its large range of covered assets.

Eric Benhamou, CEO of Pricing Partners and ex Goldman Sachs quant, comments on the new arrival of this client “Being the independent valuation provider for this very large US bank is an outstanding landmark for our valuation platform, Price-it® online. We feel very proud and grateful for the confidence that this bank showed us. With this new reference, we make an important step forward towards even more recognition for our models, our tools and our independent valuation platform. Hereby, we are underway to become the leading player in the field of transparency on the financial derivatives and structured products.”

Founded by former professionals of the trading floor, working in investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Société Générale, Natixis or HSBC, Pricing Partners has become over the last two years a major player in both pricing models and recently independent valuation. In October 2008, it launched its Internet valuation platform, Price-it® Online, which affirms its leading place in the financial modeling as well as independent valuations provider. Designed for all major assets like Interest Rates, Equity, Inflation, Credit, Foreign Exchange, Commodities, and Life Insurance to Hybrid products, Price-it® comes either as a software or an Internet Platform, providing all the tools for the transparent valuation on structured products. Price-it® online uses cutting edge mathematical models together with a new language to describe the complexity of any structured products.
