NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg today announced that KeyBanc Capital Markets (KBCM), the corporate and investment banking arm of Cleveland-based KeyCorp, has adopted Bloomberg's flagship real-time market data feed, B-PIPE, for its Investment Grade (IG) Credit Algorithm. This adoption will provide KBCM with the proper tools and infrastructure to access high-quality, consistent data, enabling greater automation and accuracy in bond pricing.

"In today's ever-evolving environment, it is becoming a business imperative that financial institutions automate their workflows and take advantage of modern technology in order to increase scalability and operational efficiency," said Keith Bunnell, Global Head of Data Distribution and Management at Bloomberg LP. "Our high-performance B-PIPE solution enables KBCM to streamline operations and make nimble pricing decisions quicker, ensuring improved client engagement and accelerated time to value."
