SIX received a number of commendations in this year’s Agent Banks in Major Markets survey, improving on what was already an incredibly compelling performance in 2024. Together with being crowned Top in ICSD and Top in CSD/Switzerland, SIX was also a Global, Markets & Categories Outperformer, exceeding the benchmark average in all 13 of the Best-in-Class categories, with top ratings for Relationship Management, Client Service and Account Management.
“These ratings demonstrate our ongoing focus on client-centricity, innovation, and excellence in relationship management. Our structured approach and global presence allow us to consistently outperform the market and provide top-tier services across multiple regions” said Rafael Moral Santiago, Head Securities Services at SIX.
This comes not long after SIX scooped up three accolades at Global Custodian’s Awards Dinner in May 2025, topping the rankings for Best-in-Class categories for Account Management, Asset Safety and Risk Management - mirroring an equally successful prize haul in 2024.
“SIX is helping its clients deal with market and regulatory changes, most notably the transition to T+1 in the EU, Switzerland and the UK” said Francisco Bejar, Co-Head Custody Operations, Securities Services at SIX.
The transition to shorter settlement cycles is having a major impact on the entire investment value chain – SIX’s latest Future of Finance study found that 30% of respondents see securing resources and process upgrades as their biggest issue ahead of T+1 implementation.
