Off Screen Text
April 2023
Canadian financial services members have been involved in discussions of a reduced settlement cycle with U.S. counterparts since early last year. U.S. industry leads have now formally announced efforts to accelerate the securities settlement cycle to T+1 from T+2.
CIBC Mellon is playing an active role in the readiness and consultations taking place across the industry leading up to the T+1 implementation.
On top of creating a project team to assess the operational impacts of T+1, CIBC Mellon employees actively participate in various T+1 working groups with key industry stakeholders in order to stay at the forefront of regulatory and industry changes.
In establishing a comprehensive team of knowledgeable professionals, we can not only ensure our readiness but ensure we are supporting clients through this transition by means of providing localized insights.
