Securities Services & Custody

As a custodian you receive your clients' settlement instructions, report on each one and keep clients informed of every corporate event. The Messaging Hub carries that traffic in ISO 15022 and ISO 20022, in whichever standard each client uses.
Client Settlement Corporate Actions Statements ISO 15022 & ISO 20022

Every client, every market, every event

Securities services operations answer to many clients and many markets at once, and each of them moves to ISO 20022 on its own schedule.

Clients instruct in both standards

Some clients send MT540–MT543, others sese.023. Your custody system should not have to care which one arrived.

Markets are moving to ISO 20022

T2S already runs on ISO 20022. Securities messaging is expected to follow, with corporate actions becoming ISO 20022 only at the European CSDs.

Corporate actions never stop

Each event means notifications to every holder, elections back, payment confirmations and status messages, all of which must reach the right client in the right format.

Clients expect reporting on time

Holdings, transaction and pending statements go out on a fixed schedule, and late or wrong statements are the first thing a client notices.

Where the Hub stops and your custody system takes over
