Turn scarce operational attention into better settlement outcomes

EasyFocus®+ gives firms a single, consolidated control layer across Euroclear markets, replacing fragmented views with the intelligence and coordination needed to act effectively. By identifying issues earlier and directing attention to where intervention can make the biggest difference, firms can improve settlement outcomes and scale more confidently in an increasingly complex post-trade landscape.

Designed for settlement teams, operations leaders and T+1 transformation programmes.

Settlement efficiency is becoming harder to sustain

Most firms already achieve high settlement efficiency. The challenge is the cost, effort and operational complexity required to maintain it. 

Operations teams spend valuable time searching for information, determining ownership and chasing updates instead of focusing on the issues that can still change the outcome.

As Europe moves towards T+1, firms will have less time to identify risks, prioritise action and recover from operational issues. At the same time, transaction volumes, market volatility and cross-border complexity continue to grow. 

Operating models that rely on manual intervention, fragmented workflows and individual expertise are becoming increasingly difficult to scale.

Market realities

  • Up to 18% staffing increases were observed following the US move to T+1. 
  • When transaction volumes triple, operational issues increase 5-fold. 

A settlement intelligence and orchestration platform

EasyFocus+ combines predictive settlement intelligence, risk-based prioritisation and coordinated workflows to help firms move from reactive exception management towards proactive operational control.

KNOW what matters

Identify risks earlier with predictive settlement intelligence, real-time cross-market context and relevant benchmarking.
Focus on the exceptions where action can still change the settlement outcome. 

ACT where it matters

Mobilise the right teams and counterparties with clear ownership, prioritisation and visibility. Focus scarce attention where it can have the greatest impact on settlement outcomes. 

LEARN what changes outcomes

Understand root causes, identify recurring patterns and use performance trends and benchmarking insights to continuously improve first-time-right settlement performance. 

Why EasyFocus+ is different

Intelligence others cannot recreate

EasyFocus+ draws on one of the industry's richest settlement data sets, spanning Euroclear's local CSDs and ICSD. 

This provides unique settlement-finality intelligence, cross-market visibility and relevant benchmarking that firms cannot be generated from internal data alone.

Coordination beyond your organisation

Settlement outcomes depend on multiple teams, counterparties and market participants. 

EasyFocus+ combines settlement intelligence with integrated ecosystem coordination, helping firms align ownership, accelerate resolution and create visibility across the wider post-trade process. 

Complements existing investments

EasyFocus+ is designed to complement existing workflow, automation and AI investments, not replace them. 

It adds high-value settlement signals, market context and ecosystem visibility that can enhance existing operating models and technology platforms. 

Fast time to value

Accessible through the Euroclear ecosystem, EasyFocus+ requires no client-side software installation and no complex integration programme. 

Firms can realise value quickly while leveraging existing processes and investments.

Developed with the industry, for the industry

The firms preparing most actively for T+1 understand that settlement efficiency is an industry challenge, not the problem of a single team or organisation.

EasyFocus+ is being developed alongside an Early Adopter Working Group that helps shape priorities, validate value and guide the future evolution of the platform.

Outcomes that matter most to clients

Improve settlement performance

Prevent avoidable fails, reduce recurring issues and improve first-time-right settlement outcomes.

Improve operational productivity

Spend less time finding information, determining ownership and chasing updates. Focus scarce operational attention where it delivers the greatest value. 

Scale with confidence

Absorb higher volumes, increased volatility and T+1 complexity without proportional growth in operational effort. 

Protect enterprise value

Better settlement outcomes support funding efficiency, inventory management, client service and operational resilience. Settlement performance is not just an operational metric. It is an enterprise outcome.

Deliver value today. Build readiness for tomorrow

EasyFocus+ helps firms improve settlement outcomes today while preparing for the realities of T+1.

By identifying risks earlier, prioritising effort more effectively and addressing root causes, firms can strengthen settlement performance immediately and build the operating model resilience required for compressed settlement cycles. 

EasyFocus+ also forms part of Euroclear's broader settlement-efficiency journey, supporting the industry's transition towards more efficient, scalable and resilient post-trade operations.
