The New Issues Acceptance team is responsible for the admission of financial instruments into the Euroclear System, for both primary and secondary markets.

On a daily basis, the team interacts with a wide range of external parties (Lead Managers, Issuing Agents, Issuers, Depositaries and CSDs) and works closely with internal stakeholders across New Issues teams and Euroclear functions, including Legal, Compliance, Asset Servicing (Income, Corporate Actions & Tax), Settlement, and Collateral.
