Preparing for T+1: Euronext Securities’ journey towards accelerated settlement
Author: Thomas Metier, Programme executive, T+1 settlement migration programme, Head of Nordic Business Operations, Euronext Securities (Copenhagen)
The European financial industry is preparing for a significant change as settlement cycles move towards T+1 – the settlement of securities transactions one business day after the trade date. At Euronext Securities, we are working collectively across our four central securities depositories (CSDs) to ensure a smooth and timely transition for all clients.
The move to T+1 is driven by European regulatory initiatives, such as the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR), and by the global trend towards shorter settlement cycles. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is guiding the transition, with a phased implementation beginning in December 2026 and concluding with the official target date of 11 October 2027. Notably, Norway, although not obligated to do so, has chosen to participate in the migration alongside Denmark, Italy and Portugal. Norway’s decision underlines Euronext Securities’ commitment to harmonisation and delivering value to clients across all markets.
The T+1 migration is a complex process involving regulatory alignment, system upgrades and close collaboration with market participants. Our programme is structured around clear milestones, including:
Internal readiness assessments (Q1 2026)
Client testing phase (early to Q4 2027)
Phased implementation starting December 2026
Target go-live date: 11 October 2027 (subject to final confirmation by regulators).
Thomas Metier, Programme executive for the T+1 settlement migration, notes:
The transition to T+1 is not just a technical upgrade – it is also a shift in how we operate. Our clients can expect a proactive approach from Euronext Securities, with regular updates, training and support throughout the migration.
Shorter settlement time: Trades will be settled one business day after execution, instead of two.
Increased efficiency: Faster settlement will accelerate the flow of funds and securities, giving investors quicker access to capital and potentially increasing trading volumes.
Enhanced competitive positioning: Alignment with global best practices positions European markets competitively on the international stage and demonstrates commitment to operational excellence.
Market participants will need to implement significant technological, operational and organisational changes to accommodate same-day allocations and other new requirements. Euronext Securities is providing regular updates, training sessions, technical documentation and opportunities for client feedback throughout the migration.
We understand that our clients are facing significant changes, and we are committed to supporting them every step of the way. Early preparation and open dialogue will be key to a successful transition
To prepare for T+1, clients should:
Review internal trade matching and funding processes to ensure they can meet the shorter settlement cycle
Engage with Euronext Securities’ project teams for updates and support
Participate in scheduled testing activities to validate readiness
For organisations considering Euronext’s European offering, our unified approach to T+1 demonstrates our ability to deliver seamless, cross-border solutions and operational excellence.
We encourage all clients to review their operational readiness, engage with our project teams and participate in upcoming testing activities.
Shaping the future of tax processing: Euronext Securities leads the way with FASTER and enhanced tax relief services
By Stef Lambersy, Head of Tax Services, Euronext Securities and CEO, Acupay
Euronext Securities is at the forefront of transforming tax services for investors and intermediaries across Europe. By combining robust infrastructure, regulatory insight and innovative technology, we are delivering solutions that simplify compliance, accelerate entitlements and reduce operational risk for our clients.
Euronext Securities expands its services offering with the acquisition of Acupay
The European Commission’s FASTER (Faster and Safer Tax Excess Relief) Directive aims to harmonise and digitalise withholding tax relief procedures across the EU. Its objectives are to reduce administrative burdens, combat fraud and provide faster, more predictable access to tax entitlements for cross-border investors.
Progress on FASTER is well underway, with the initiative moving through the EU legislative process and implementation expected to begin in the coming years. For clients, FASTER will mean streamlined digital processes, reduced paperwork and quicker refunds.
Stef Lambersy notes:
FASTER is a game-changer for cross-border investors. By standardising and digitalising tax relief, we are making it easier for clients to access their entitlements and comply with local requirements
Alongside FASTER, Euronext Securities, through Acupay technology, is enhancing its tax relief services to further support clients. This includes expanding relief at source capabilities, automating documentation and integrating with local tax authorities where possible. These improvements are designed to complement FASTER by providing immediate benefits — such as reduced manual processing, lower risk of errors and faster access to funds — even before the directive is fully implemented.
Both FASTER and our enhanced tax relief services are focused on addressing the evolving needs of clients and meeting new regulatory expectations around transparency, anti-fraud and operational efficiency.
The integration of Acupay into Euronext Securities as well as the development of our next tax platform is central to delivering these solutions. By combining market infrastructure expertise with advanced technology, we are able to innovate quickly and respond to both regulatory change and client feedback.
