Euroclear Finland is to join the European securities settlement platform TARGET2-Securities (T2S) in November 2022.

The timing is set to coincide with the launch of European Collateral Management System (ECMS), ensuring that access to collateral eligible securities in Euroclear Finland’s safekeeping continues.

In addition, Euroclear Finland deployed its new CSD system, Infinity, in May 2018.

The most recent new features of Infinity include Partial Settlement, introduced in September 2019, and Equity Savings Accounts, which will become available for retail investors in Finland in January 2020.

Hanna Vainio, CEO of Euroclear Finland, said: “The roadmap of joining T2S has been agreed in close collaboration with market participants, Bank of Finland and the European Central Bank.”

She added: “Just like in the previous stages of the Infinity programme, we will work together with clients to ensure a smooth transition to T2S for the whole market. With our The Central Securities Depositories Regulation license and renewed infrastructure, we are now well-positioned for better serving our Finnish, Nordic and global clients.”
