In order to satisfy the diverse needs of our clients, maximize the distribution of our lendable securities and provide greater freedom and flexibility for our traders, State Street offers access to several online platforms that help streamline the lending process.

WebLend^™ is our proprietary online lending tool and is available worldwide 24 hours a day. WebLend is a secure system that allows approved borrowers to view our inventory, locate specific securities or a set of securities, book loans, receive loan confirmations and view rebate rates.

We're also pleased to offer our clients access to EquiLend^™, a global platform designed to support the automation of key components of securities financing transactions. EquiLend connects participants through a common process and infrastructure, which creates both efficiencies and liquidity and reduces the levels of potential errors and risks. EquiLend was developed by a consortium of 10 industry leaders, including State Street.
