The objective of The European Securities Services Forum (ESSF) is a single integrated post trading system for securities transactions in Europe achieved through harmonisation, standardisation, and consolidation as well as through supporting and enabling regulation. ESSF acts as an agent of change, providing solutions in the clearing, settlement, and custody space to reduce costs and risks of market participants. It represents the views and positions of its members toward public-sector authorities and central banks at both European and national levels. On issues of common interest it cooperates with SIFMA Operations Committees in the US and in Asia.
