Euronext Securities is working towards a unified client experience through harmonised services and a common platform across its four central securities depositories. 

This initiative forms an important part of Euronext’s strategic plan for growth and innovation.

Building the CSD of choice in Europe

The Euronext Securities CSD Convergence Programme will create a unified client experience by delivering fully harmonised services through a state-of-the-art common platform across the four Euronext Securities CSDs in Copenhagen, Milan, Oslo and Porto. This six-year initiative is a cornerstone of the Euronext Innovate for Growth 2027 strategic plan, designed to simplify market infrastructure, enhance cross-border opportunities and increase operational efficiency for all market participants.

Involving market participants

To ensure that the CSD Convergence Programme meets the evolving needs of market participants,  a clear client engagement system has been put in place, with representation from both cross-border clients, and local clients from each of the four CSDs. This approach includes regular sessions and dedicated discussions on a range of topics with clients, which provide valuable insights and help guide the programme towards its objectives. Through ongoing collaboration and feedback, Euronext Securities is able to adapt and refine the programme, ensuring it delivers harmonised and efficient services across all markets.
