New Tool: CSDR T+1 Readiness Diagnostic

New Tool: CSDR T+1 Readiness Diagnostic

We are pleased to announce the launch of our free CSDR T+1 Readiness Diagnostic.

This interactive self-assessment helps banks, brokers, custodians, CSDs, MTFs, OTFs and service providers evaluate their preparedness for the EU move to T+1 settlement.

The tool covers seven key readiness areas:

  • Allocations & Confirmations
  • Settlement Instructions & Matching
  • Fail Management & Discipline
  • Technology, Automation & Data Quality
  • Liquidity & Intraday Funding
  • Ecosystem Readiness
  • Governance & Policies

Results are presented in a clear spider diagram so you can quickly see where the largest gaps sit.

The diagnostic was first made available in May 2026 and has already been used by a number of market participants as an early gap-analysis input.
