Delivering the one-stop shop custody solution for all T2S markets
Adding Spain and Portugal to our Investor-CSD network of markets, customers can now access and settle practically all T2S-in securities. With harmonised asset servicing, complemented by regulated network management, Clearstream offers even more securities pooling benefits to its customers.
Central access to all T2S-in markets
With the new connections to Spain and Portugal, Clearstream is now offering the ability to settle 99 per cent of all T2S-in securities activity and remains the only market infrastructure providing a true one-stop shop custody solution in Central Bank Money across European markets.
More than just simplifying settlement
As part of our European custody solution, the Investor-CSD model benefits from direct connectivity to T2S which allows Clearstream to offer settlement instruction directly into the domestic markets and with T2S deadlines. This set-up reduces the need for further custody intermediaries to a strict minimum.
CCP post-trade connectivity
Clearstream has built a joint connectivity roadmap to European Clearing Houses, to allow clients to not only consolidate their OTC flow into our custody solution, but to equally aggregate their CCP-cleared flow into the same account at Clearstream. The connectivity roadmap and the already existing connections to different CCPs and trading venues are available for customers on our website under Trading venues and CCP settlement.
Preparing for upcoming changes
In November 2023, the Eurosystem Collateral Management System (ECMS) will go live, replacing 19 different collateral management systems with one unified framework. Bundling all T2S securities activity, including eligible Eurobonds, via Clearstream as a central access hub and major European infrastructure today further supports our customers’ ability to efficiently and effectively engage with the ECMS from day one.
