Custody chain and depository

Bulgaria is a T2S Market.

The OneClearstream service level provides clients with a single point of access to all T2S markets with comprehensive instruments coverage. This is complemented by full harmonisation of asset services and connectivity channels between CFCL, CBL, and CEU. This service is available to all our clients via a single interface and log-on.

The service description is valid for CFCL clients, unless otherwise highlighted in the documentation.

CFCL utilises the T2S infrastructure platform to access Bulgaria’s CSD (Central Depository AD) through the intermediaries of CBL. CFCL uses CBL as a global custodian across all markets.
