Broadridge and Kyndryl Extend Partnership to Enhance AI and Quantum-Safe Infrastructure | LeapRate | Online Trading Industry News, Broker Intelligence & Fintech Analysis

Broadridge Financial Solutions and technology services firm Kyndryl announced Thursday an extension of their longstanding partnership.

The firms will deepen their collaboration to modernise Broadridge’s core infrastructure with artificial intelligence capabilities and quantum-safe protections.

Under the expanded agreement, Kyndryl will invest in modernising Broadridge’s data centre, network architecture, and mainframe environment, including a strategic refresh to a next-generation quantum-safe platform. 

The work will incorporate Kyndryl’s AI-powered open integration platform, Kyndryl Bridge, alongside the Kyndryl Agentic AI Framework, which will support more intelligent operations, faster issue resolution, and reduced technical complexity.

Tyler Derr, chief technology officer at Broadridge, said: “We are strengthening the infrastructure our clients rely on and we continue evolving our technology to meet rising regulatory, market and operational demands. We chose to extend our collaboration with Kyndryl because of their long-standing experience supporting mission-critical platforms in highly regulated environments.”

Jamie Rutledge, president of Kyndryl US, believes the collaboration will help Broadridge “run mission-critical systems with greater confidence” whilst preparing for future demands. 

He noted that Kyndryl holds designation as a DORA-critical third-party service provider, positioning it to support financial market integrity as resiliency and security requirements increase.

For Broadridge clients, the partnership is intended to deliver stronger performance and scalability for high-volume trading activity, more secure operations amid a complex regulatory environment, and improved business continuity during periods of market stress.
