Kyndryl and Broadridge Financial Solutions have expanded their longstanding partnership to modernize critical financial services infrastructure through AI-enabled operations, quantum-safe capabilities, and enhanced resiliency initiatives. The collaboration aims to strengthen Broadridge’s core technology platforms while supporting the growing demands of global financial markets, regulatory compliance, and operational scalability.
The agreement will leverage Kyndryl Bridge, Kyndryl’s AI-powered open-integration platform, alongside the Kyndryl Agentic AI Framework to improve operational intelligence, automate issue resolution, and simplify complex infrastructure management across Broadridge’s systems.
Broadridge Financial Solutions is strengthening its infrastructure modernization strategy through an expanded partnership with Kyndryl, focused on improving the resiliency and future readiness of mission-critical financial services platforms.
The collaboration is designed to support Broadridge’s efforts to modernize wealth management systems, simplify trading operations, and advance the digitization and democratization of investing.
As part of the expanded agreement, Kyndryl will help modernize Broadridge’s core infrastructure, including its data center operations, network architecture, and mainframe environments. The initiative also includes a transition toward next-generation quantum-safe security capabilities aimed at protecting systems against emerging cyber threats.
A key component of the partnership is the integration of AI-powered operational capabilities through Kyndryl Bridge and the Kyndryl Agentic AI Framework.
The AI-enabled infrastructure is intended to support faster issue detection and resolution, reduce technical complexity, and provide more intelligent operational oversight across Broadridge’s technology ecosystem.
"Our platforms support clients across all global financial services, where resiliency and trust are nonnegotiable," said Tyler Derr, CTO, Broadridge. "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."
The expanded partnership comes at a time when financial institutions are facing increasing pressure to strengthen operational resilience, cybersecurity protections, and compliance readiness amid rising digital transformation demands.
Kyndryl’s modernization efforts will support Broadridge’s ability to maintain availability and performance across high-volume financial communications and trading systems while preparing for future security challenges, including quantum-related risks.
"By modernizing core platforms and integrating AI-enabled operations alongside quantum-safe capabilities, we are helping Broadridge run mission-critical systems with greater confidence today while preparing for what comes next," said Jamie Rutledge, President, Kyndryl U.S. "As a DORA-designated critical third-party service provider, Kyndryl is uniquely positioned to continue to help Broadridge manage risk and support the integrity of financial market operations as resiliency, security and performance demands increase."
The collaboration is expected to deliver several operational benefits for Broadridge clients, including stronger platform scalability, improved system resiliency, AI-assisted issue resolution, and enhanced business continuity during periods of market volatility.
Broadridge’s infrastructure supports critical financial services operations globally, processing billions of communications annually and facilitating more than $15 trillion in daily trading activity across traditional and tokenized securities markets.
The partnership reflects the broader trend of financial services firms investing in AI-powered infrastructure modernization and future-ready cybersecurity frameworks to support increasingly complex digital ecosystems.
