Safeheld: safeguarding and reconciliation.

The platform regulated firms use to reconcile client funds every day, evidence safeguarding to the regulator and the auditor, and run treasury across every account.

What it does.

Safeheld connects to the firm’s safeguarding, operating and settlement accounts, reconciles balances against the ledger every business day, records every exception to resolution, and produces the returns, resolution pack and audit evidence each regulator requires. It is built to the client-assets standard applied in the United Kingdom and mapped to the safeguarding rules of every market the firm licenses in.

Daily reconciliation

Internal and external reconciliations, automated against bank feeds and the firm’s ledger, with exceptions escalated.

Regulatory returns

Monthly safeguarding returns and attestations prepared from the reconciliation record.

Resolution pack

The records an administrator needs, maintained continuously.

Audit evidence

The annual safeguarding audit file assembled as the year runs.

Treasury

Every account, currency and balance in one view, with limits and alerts.

Who it is for.

EMIs and payment institutions

Firms that safeguard customer funds under a licence.

Cryptoasset firms

Firms holding client money alongside client assets.

Programme managers

Firms operating under a partner’s licence that must evidence segregation.

Questions.

Which banks does Safeheld connect to?

Any institution that provides statements or an API; connections are configured during onboarding.

Does Safeheld replace the firm’s ledger?

No. It reconciles the ledger against the accounts and keeps the evidence.

Is it used for the safeguarding audit?

Yes. The audit file is assembled from the daily record, which shortens the audit considerably.

How is it priced?
