SIX Extends Strategic Partnership with Barclays to Deliver Smarter Data Solutions Across Global Operations

(IN BRIEF) SIX and Barclays have entered into a seven-year global partnership to accelerate the bank’s international growth and enhance cost efficiency. The collaboration will give Barclays access to SIX’s suite of financial data products and allow the bank to contribute to the development of new analytical and data-driven solutions. Aligning with Barclays’ transformation strategy to simplify operations and cut £2 billion in costs by 2026, the partnership strengthens both companies’ ambitions for innovation and expansion across key global markets, particularly in the US and Asia.

(PRESS RELEASE) ZURICH, 14-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — SIX, a global leader in financial data and market infrastructure, has announced a seven-year strategic alliance with Barclays aimed at supporting the bank’s international expansion, driving operational efficiency, and fostering innovation across its global operations. The partnership strengthens a long-established relationship between the two companies and underscores the critical role of advanced financial data in shaping the future of banking.

Under the new agreement, Barclays will gain comprehensive access to the full range of SIX’s market-leading financial information services, spanning real-time market data, regulatory reporting, wealth management solutions, and cross-asset data coverage. This enhanced access will help Barclays streamline its global operations and support its broader transformation agenda focused on simplifying business structures and reducing costs by £2 billion by 2026.

The collaboration extends beyond data delivery, with Barclays actively contributing to the strategy and development of new data and analytical products. The two companies will also work jointly to design innovative digital solutions tailored to the evolving needs of Barclays’ clients across investment banking, retail banking, corporate services, and wealth management.

This expanded alliance comes at a pivotal time for both organizations. Barclays’ strong regional presence in the US and Asia complements SIX’s own international ambitions, positioning both firms to leverage their combined strengths to deliver more connected, data-driven financial ecosystems. The announcement also follows the recent launch of SIX’s new market data offerings, the SIX Fixed Income Data and the Digital Assets Regulatory & Tax Service, both of which are designed to enhance transparency and compliance in complex markets.

Marion Leslie, Head of Financial Information and Executive Board Member at SIX, remarked: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Barclays as it embarks on an ambitious phase of transformation and growth. In an environment where efficiency and precision are key, the ability to harness intelligent financial data is more critical than ever. This collaboration reinforces the trust and shared innovation that have long defined our relationship.”

Georges Lauchard, COO for Global Markets and Wholesale Lending at Barclays, added: “SIX has been a trusted partner for many years, and this new agreement marks the next chapter in that collaboration. Integrating advanced data capabilities from SIX supports our commitment to digital transformation and helps us deliver smarter, more agile solutions for our clients worldwide.”
