ION’s Openlink V25: Advancing treasury and commodity management

LONDON – 06 February 2025: ION Corporates, a global leader in treasury and commodity management solutions, announces the release of Openlink V25, the latest evolution of its flagship trading and risk management platform. Amid rising market volatility, operational complexities, and the global energy transition, Openlink V25 empowers financial and commodity businesses to seize new opportunities with expanded product coverage, streamlined workflows, advanced automation, and access to fully managed ION services.

As businesses diversify away from traditional fossil fuels to embrace cleaner, renewable energy sources, Openlink V25 facilitates the transition with the ability to manage traditional energy and renewable businesses side by side. The new version supports emerging products like carbon credits, renewable fuels, and green power certificates, enabling organizations to comply with sustainability mandates, explore new trading strategies, and unlock additional revenue streams.

Heightened market pressures and increasingly complex global operations make efficiency and resilience critical for businesses seeking to lower costs and improve responsiveness. Openlink V25 introduces workflows that simplify trade entry, streamline logistics, and enhance the overall trade lifecycle. New advanced automation improves straight-through processing so businesses can rapidly adapt to changing market dynamics and capitalize on growth opportunities. The new connectivity with third-party vendors for SWIFT ISO 20022 messaging and North American gas pipeline logistics automates communication with downstream participants, ensuring seamless information exchange along the value chain.

For additional value and cost savings, Openlink V25 also provides access to fully managed ION services for complementary risk management and treasury functions, including limit monitoring, real-time position management, bank connectivity, payments, and sanction screening. Businesses using ION services benefit from the quick deployment of critical functions with minimal investment in additional resources or technology infrastructure.

“This release demonstrates ION’s commitment to innovation and continuous investment in delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients in both treasury and commodities markets,” said Sunil Biswas, CEO of ION Corporates. “Openlink is uniquely positioned to enable businesses to navigate the present and future challenges of an increasingly interconnected and complex global landscape.”
