TCS Expands Euroclear Partnership, Brings AI and Distributed Ledger Technology to Sweden’s Securities Infrastructure

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has expanded its long-standing partnership with Euroclear Group to modernise Sweden’s Central Securities Depository (CSD), deploying AI-powered and distributed ledger technology (DLT)-enabled platforms to support the next generation of financial market infrastructure.

As part of the initiative, Euroclear Sweden will implement TCS BaNCS™ for Market Infrastructure and Quartz™, TCS’ digital platform that combines distributed ledger technology with artificial intelligence.

The upgraded infrastructure is designed to support tokenised assets, decentralised settlements, and real-time insights while improving operational resilience and scalability.

The transformation forms a key part of Euroclear’s broader Nordic strategy, which aims to standardise operations across Sweden and Finland through a unified, cloud-ready CSD platform.

The modernised system will support core registry services, depository functions, cross-border settlement, and asset servicing while ensuring compliance with evolving European market regulations.

A major component of the project includes the phased migration of Sweden’s securities market to the European Central Bank’s TARGET2-Securities (T2S) platform, enabling more efficient and secure cross-border settlement across Europe.

"By integrating our regional operations, we are not only enhancing efficiency for our clients but also reinforcing our position as the preferred Nordic CSD, dedicated to the long-term prosperity of the Nordic financial ecosystem," said Hanna Vainio, Euroclear Sweden and Finland CEO.

TCS said Quartz will play an important role in enabling future-ready capabilities, including support for digital assets and AI-driven intelligence, as financial institutions increasingly explore tokenization and automation.

“Building on our joint success in Finland, we look forward to working with Euroclear to bring high levels of sophistication in functionality, standards compliance and technology to the Nordics market leveraging TCS BaNCS and Quartz, our market-leading products for financial market infrastructures. We are deeply committed to ensuring the platform is future-proof, resilient, scalable, while leading the way for transformation in European markets," said R Vivekanand, TCS President, BFSI Products & Platforms.

The project highlights the growing adoption of AI and blockchain technologies in capital markets as financial infrastructure providers modernize for a digital-first future.
