Our Tasks:
As CSD we play an important and central role in Austria's capital market, as we provide centralized services for its participants:

- We process investors' instructions for the settlement of securities transactions, having been placed on the stock exchange or over-the-counter.
- We coordinate payments to investors to settle their claims to issuers.
In order to provide you with the latest state-of-the-art technique we have built the “Issuer Platform”. Please find a short video clip explaining the key facts here (in German). Link to the video
