TCS expands partnership with Euroclear to modernise Sweden’s central securities depository
It services major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Wednesday announced the expansion of its long-standing partnership with Euroclear Group to drive the next phase of transformation for Sweden’s Central Securities Depository (CSD).
As part of this initiative, Euroclear Sweden will deploy TCS BaNCS™ for Market Infrastructure and Quartz, TCS’ advanced digital solutions, to build a resilient, future-ready, and scalable CSD platform aligned to evolving European market standards.
TCS BaNCS for Market Infrastructure will enable Euroclear to meet the evolving needs of financial market infrastructure institutions, supporting end-to-end operations across asset classes, including core registry, depository services, cross-border settlement, and asset servicing.
Complementing this, TCS’ Quartz will leverage distributed ledger technology and AI to support tokenized assets, decentralized settlements, and real-time, actionable insights.
Together, these solutions will help Euroclear to implement its Nordic transformation strategy, aimed at driving standardization and growth through the deployment of a modern, cloud-ready, and scalable CSD platform across Sweden and Finland.
The unified platform will enable continued compliance with European standards, enhance straight through processing.
The implementation of a unified platform will be achieved through a phased IT transition, including the migration of the Swedish market to the European Central Bank’s TARGET2-Securities (T2S) platform for secure and efficient pan-European settlement.
Hanna Vainio, CEO, Euroclear Sweden and Finland said: "Having established one of Europe’s most advanced CSD infrastructures in Finland, we are pleased to extend our decade-long partnership with TCS to Sweden. This collaboration is a pillar of our 'One Nordic' vision, allowing us to harmonize business and IT practices onto a single, resilient platform. By integrating our regional operations, we are not only enhancing efficiency for our clients but also reinforcing our position as the preferred Nordic CSD, dedicated to the long-term prosperity of the Nordic financial ecosystem."
R Vivekanand, President, BFSI Products & Platforms, TCS, said: “We are pleased to expand our relationship with the Euroclear Group through this strategic multi-country harmonization initiative.

We are deeply committed to ensuring the platform is future-proof, resilient, scalable, while leading the way for transformation in European markets.”
