T+1 Pulse Q1 2026: Industry Readiness Across the EU, UK and Switzerland

The transition to T+1 settlement in the EU, UK and Switzerland is moving from planning into execution.

ISSA is supporting The Value Exchange’s T+1 Pulse Survey to help establish a collective industry view. How has readiness shifted? What has changed? What needs to change? How and where will the transition impact you? 

Participating in this survey provides your firm with the opportunity to have its voice heard to help establish a clear picture of how T+1 readiness has evolved– and where dependencies may slow progress. The results will also help your firm understand how its current state of readiness and planning compares to its peers.

The survey explores: 

  • Where you expect the greatest operational impact
  • When key milestones will realistically be achieved
  • Which lifecycle stages are most exposed
  • How prepared your service providers are
  • Whether budgets, automation and governance are aligned
  • What will define readiness for market testing

The survey is anonymous, takes 15 minutes to complete, and is open until March 31.  
You may access the survey via this survey link for ISSA Members:

By participating, you’ll receive a personalised benchmarking scorecard, allowing you to compare your responses with relevant peers.


The survey is sponsored by Clearstream, DTCC, Euroclear, SIX, and the UK Accelerated Settlement Taskforce. It is supported by leading associations and industry bodies – ISSA, EFAMA, ISITC, ISLA, IA – The Investment Association, AFME, ECSDA, UK Finance, and Swiss SPTC.
