The T+1 get-ready plan for late starters

Get your middle office ready for T+1

Europe is moving to T+1 settlement in 2027, and time is ticking for the middle office to prepare. Produced with FIS^®, this whitepaper from Firebrand Research identifies the middle-office processes in most urgent need of automation – proposing a plan of action for late starters on the road to T+1.

• Beat the T+1 compliance deadline with research findings and recommendations: Industry testing cycles for T+1 are planned to begin in early 2027, but it’s not too late to adapt middle-office processes and meet your regulatory and customer obligations.
• Act now for timely compliance: Industry groups across Europe recommend that firms implement internal changes in the middle office by December 31, 2026.
• Reset your middle-office priorities: With errors costing the industry more than $186 billion a year, it pays to invest in trade matching, confirmation and allocation systems and processes first.
• Optimise automation: For Firebrand survey participants, only 83% of equity flow and 71% of fixed income flow currently undergo automated central matching.
• Streamline operations: As firms move into new markets, middle-office support must be consistent across asset classes and scale to higher volumes.
