The UK’s financial markets are transforming. With sweeping reforms underway - from digitising securities and unlocking private capital to accelerating settlement cycles - the financial landscape is being reshaped for a digital future.
With the Digitisation Taskforce’s final report published, we are ready to support the transition to a fully digitised shareholding model - eliminating paper certificates and enhancing investor access.
As explained by Chris Elms, CEO of Euroclear UK & International: “Digitisation is not just about removing paper. It is about enabling structured, usable data that connects issuers and their investors more effectively enabling greater shareholder democracy.”
Euroclear’s open infrastructure already supports digital shareholding for the UK’s largest listed companies, and we are working with fintech platforms to make investing easier, more secure and more visible for everyone - including retail investors.
Our role is to provide a neutral, resilient platform that enables a range of investor-focused solutions. The more people who invest, the more opportunity for growth and prosperity in the UK economy.
