Services in Sweden

Euroclear Sweden offers its participants both clearing and settlement services and account and asset services for holdings.

Clearing and settlement services
Euroclear Sweden offers clearing and settlement for equities and fixed income instruments in SEK and EUR.

• DvP settlement which meets the highest international market standards
  
• Optional real-time settlement
  
• Modern matching functions
  
• Settlement of cross-border transactions
  
• Payment in central bank money with central bank liquidity provisions
  
• Optional payments in commercial bank money
  
• Efficient collateral management and self collateralisation services
  
• Optimisation features in order to minimise liquidity needs

Euroclear Sweden's clearing and settlement services are focused on providing low-risk and cost-effective settlement on a long-term basis.

Account and asset services
The participant is offered the possibility to customize the account structure for its own needs by creating an efficient combination of owner accounts, where investors hold their securities accounts directly with the CSD and nominee accounts, where securities are held with the CSD on behalf of customers.

Euroclear Sweden also provides service accounts which are a cost-effective development of the owner account structure. Economies of scale and shared development costs are the prime motivators for intermediaries to use the service account. Service accounts may be used either as a complement or as an alternative to a proprietary custody account system.

Corporate actions are processed on all accounts and dividend and other income events are paid to accounts connected to the VPC account. Euroclear Sweden also manages tax collection and reporting.

Corporate action and securities master data information
Securities Information offers our participants information about issuer, securities and corporate actions. The service is available via a file interface and as a web-based service. The file interface makes it possible for the participants to integrate the information with their own system information. The web-based service is available via Internet, where the user logs on to Euroclear Sweden’s website and performs the wanted searches. The web-based service also contains information about owners in listed companies.
