Operationalising Next-Day Settlement
Infrastructure, Rules, and Automation
UK Markets at a Turning Point: Key Insights from Our T+1 Leadership Panel Session in London
The panel brought together senior leaders from across the UK capital markets ecosystem for a timely discussion on the industry’s transition to T+1 settlement ahead of the October 2027 deadline. Speakers highlighted strong early progress — with 87% of UK transactions already processed on a T+1 rhythm — but also underscored the urgency of addressing the 12% of trades that remain unmatched at the start of the settlement cycle. The conversation made clear that the shift to T+1 is far more than a timeline change: it requires deep automation, high-quality data, and significant process redesign, backed by cross-market collaboration and cultural transformation within firms. With processing windows shrinking by 83% when moving from T+2 to T+1, attendees agreed that firms must rethink how operations, technology, risk, and client teams coordinate in real time.
A recurring theme throughout the session was that behavioural and organisational change are as critical as technology investment. Manual processes still dominate many workflows, and panelists stressed that reducing human touchpoints, strengthening data governance, and redesigning upstream processes must be immediate priorities. As global markets accelerate — with digital assets, AI-driven post-trade, real-time data, and regulatory pressure reshaping the landscape — firms that act now will be best positioned for both compliance and competitive advantage.
The panel concluded with a clear message: T+1 is the starting point, not the finish line, and the firms that embrace automation and collaboration today will be the ones ready for tomorrow’s market realities.
