Subscribe to our newsletter

Financial data provider SIX has signed a seven-year strategic partnership with Barclays. The agreement will provide all divisions of the global banking group, including its investment banking, retail, wealth management, and corporate services, with access to SIX’s comprehensive suite of financial data products. The partnership is intended to support Barclays’ international growth and drive cost efficiencies, aligning with the bank’s wider strategic transformation, with a goal to reduce costs by £2bn by 2026.

The collaboration builds on a longstanding relationship and will see Barclays contributing to the product strategy and development of new data and analytical products from SIX. In return for providing access to services such as real-time market data, wealth management capabilities, and regulatory reporting solutions, the partnership supports SIX’s own plans to expand, by helping strengthen the provider’s presence in key regions like the US and Asia, where Barclays has a significant footprint.
