Contact Information
The Brussels office of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (Morgan Guaranty) founded the Euroclear System in December 1968. The system minimised risk as transactions within the system settled delivery versus payment (DVP). This means that cash and securities are exchanged simultaneously, in electronic book-entry form.
Today, the Euroclear group not only settles eurobonds, but a wide range of asset classes, including equities, funds and derivatives.
As a provider of Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI), we offer expert transaction settlement, asset servicing and collateral management, as well as a wide range of services for issuers.
All asset types are covered including bonds, equities, funds and derivatives.
Euroclear Bank, the leading International Central Securities Depository (ICSD), is your gateway to counterparties worldwide for post-trade services, covering more than 1 million securities.
The Euroclear group’s national Central Securities Depositories (CSDs) for Belgium, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom serve local clients for local transactions.
