THE T+1 SETTLEMENT CHALLENGE

UK and EU Financial Markets Transition to T+1 Settlement by October 2027

Operational Complexity

Trade date matching, same-day allocation and confirmation, compressed FX settlement windows, T+1 securities lending recalls, and real-time position management all become mandatory requirements under the new settlement cycle.

Technology Modernisation

Legacy post-trade systems require significant upgrades and automation. Seamless integration with custodians, brokers, CCPs, and central securities depositories (CSDs) is essential for achieving target straight-through processing rates.

Market Infrastructure Coordination

Bilateral testing with counterparties, participation in AST and EU T+1 Committee testing programmes, and alignment with Euroclear, DTCC, and other infrastructure providers are critical for successful transition.

Regulatory Compliance Framework

CSDR settlement discipline, FCA supervisory expectations, ESMA guidelines, and AST recommendations create a complex compliance landscape requiring expert navigation and implementation support.
