On June 16, 2025, Europe’s financial infrastructure will take a historic leap forward with the official go-live of the European Collateral Management System (ECMS). Designed to unify and modernize the way collateral is managed across the Eurozone, ECMS will replace 20+ domestic platforms and harmonize operations for over 2,500 institutions — in real-time and under a single Eurosystem framework.
At the heart of this transformation: Vermeg the trusted technology partner selected to deliver this complex, strategic platform.
A mission-critical mandate. A sovereign-scale delivery. A signal of trust at the highest level
/ A turning point for European Market Infrastructure
The ECMS project is not a system upgrade. It’s a once-in-a-generation leap in how Europe executes monetary policy, mobilizes collateral, and ensures financial stability.
Selected after one of the most rigorous public-sector evaluations, Vermeg’s appointment underscores a message the market won’t miss:
The Eurosystem chose Vermeg to power the future of its financial infrastructure.
“Being entrusted by the major European central banks to deliver ECMS is a reflection of the confidence placed in Vermeg’s capabilities, security, and resilience.”
Khaled Ben Abdeljelil, SVP, Banking Market Strategy, Vermeg
/ Why this matters — and what sets Vermeg apart
Delivering ECMS meant:
• Managing compliance with the most sensitive regulatory, operational, and legal standards across Europe
• Integrating with T2, T2S, and ISO 20022 messaging
• Enabling real-time collateral mobility under a harmonized legal and technical architecture
Key stats:
• 10,000+ daily messages processed securely
• 4,000+ U2A users across the Eurosystem
• 21 national central banks + the ECB onboarded
• Cross-border workflows, natively supported
Vermeg didn’t just deliver software. It delivered scale, sovereignty, and trust.
/ More than Technology — A Strategic Partner for Europe
ECMS solidifies Vermeg’s position as a long-term infrastructure ally to central banks, custodians, and regulators. Not just a vendor — an architect of Europe’s financial future.
“We don’t just build software — we build trust, resilience, and future-ready infrastructure.”
— Khaled Ben Abdeljelil, SVP, Banking Market Strategy, Vermeg
/ What's next: Enabling the Transition
With go-live now ratified, Vermeg is entering a new chapter: helping institutions transition, adopt, and operate within the ECMS environment. From readiness to optimization, Vermeg’s role will remain central in shaping how Europe’s collateral ecosystem evolves — and thrives.
