The Central Securities Depository (CSD) Prague has become an associate member of the Czech Fintech Association.
According to the CEO of CSD Prague, Ondrej Dusílek, cooperation between the capital market and the fintech sector is key to the modernisation and openness of financial markets.
He adds: “By joining the association, we look forward to new partnerships and sharing know-how — for example, in the area of digital assets.”
While the CSD does not offer securities lending services directly, it handles post-trade settlement and custody for the Czech capital markets.
With a focus on enhancing local projects, such as Czech securities and bonds, CSD Prague aims to modernise its infrastructure and increase efficiency, while ensuring compliance with European financial regulations.
In October 2023, the CSD launched a distributed ledger technology (DLT) settlement system, as the first institution in the world to receive permission under the European DLT Pilot Regime.
The Czech Fintech Association brings together more than 80 entities operating in the field of digital finance, including startups, established companies, banks, and investors.
It aims to support innovation, connect market actors, and actively participate in the creation of financial legislation and regulation in the Czech Republic and the EU.
