How do I connect Bloomberg Messenger for archiving?

Last updated: March 24, 2026

  1. Reach out to your Bloomberg account manager requesting the Message Compliance team to set you up with a BB-SFTP site.

  2. Once Bloomberg has setup an SFTP site, they will provide the following information which will need to be shared with us:

    1. Firm Code, which is an ID for your organization and is used to log in to the Bloomberg SFTP site.

    2. Password for your Bloomberg SFTP site.

    3. URL for Bloomberg SFTP site (for example, sftp.bloomberg.com). In addition, Bloomberg may also provide a corresponding IP address for the Bloomberg SFTP site.

    4. Port number for Bloomberg SFTP site.

  3. Once you share this information with us, we'll take it from there!

    1. [NOTE] The password is sensitive information. To share the password, you can use flashpaper.hadrius.com to generate a one-time use link that you can send to us. Everything else can be shared as plain text.
