How APAC Can Prepare for Europe’s T+1 Shift | DTCC

Preparing APAC for T1 Europe

Challenges Intensified Under T+1

Tighter APAC-UK/EU cut‑off windows leave less time to complete same-day allocation and confirmation.

Manual standard settlement instruction (SSI) maintenance and downstream enrichment increase the risk of errors, delays, and settlement failure.

Fragmented data and non‑standard workflows drive avoidable exceptions and operational bottlenecks.

Limited visibility into trade status reduces the ability to intervene before cut‑off deadlines.
