EU, UK and Switzerland issue T+1 testing plan ahead of joint move on 11 October 2027
2026-03-26 · payments
The EU T+1 Industry Committee, UK Accelerated Settlement Taskforce and Swiss Securities Post-Trade Council outlined testing logistics, scenarios and readiness metrics to help firms de-risk the transition.
Product Blueprint SettleReady — a SaaS readiness dashboard and gap-analysis engine that scores a firm's operational, custodial, and funding workflows against the EU/UK/Swiss T+1 testing scenarios, then generates a prioritized remediation playbook with deadline-tracked action items.
Why it matters The October 2027 hard deadline with published testing logistics and readiness metrics creates a 12–18 month implementation sprint starting now — firms that missed the US T+1 scramble in 2024 are actively trying to avoid repeating that pain, and the joint tri-jurisdiction framework means one tool can serve three regulatory regimes simultaneously.
Target user Head of Post-Trade Operations or Settlement Manager at a mid-tier EU/UK asset manager or broker-dealer (AUM $500M–$50B) who is accountable for T+1 compliance but lacks a dedicated project management office to run the transition.
Go-to-market Sign 10 pilot firms by cold-outreach to post-trade operations leads on LinkedIn with a free 'T+1 Readiness Score' self-assessment (15-question form that outputs a scored PDF report) as the wedge; convert pilots to paid seats at $2,500/month by offering live scenario simulation against the official test cases published by the EU T+1 Industry Committee.
