The core issue

The current securities market communication is not uniform: it is based on bilateral agreements, PDFs sent via email, and manual processing. All of this is vulnerable, difficult to audit, slow, and pose increased risk in the T+1 settlement environment.

Market and regulatory background

ESMA aims to harmonise the European market by introducing the T+1 settlement cycle. This requires fast, standardised, automated and auditable communication between market participants.
