ETS Connect UK’s Accredited Partner (AP) programme launches in January 2027, creating an open ecosystem for integrated support services alongside the UK bond CT.
Designed to support market participants of all sizes, the programme enables accredited commercial providers to deliver value-added operational, technical and client support services tailored to different user requirements.
The AP programme provides firms with greater flexibility, extended service coverage and access to specialist expertise, while maintaining the neutrality and integrity of the core market infrastructure.
ETS Connect UK will provide 24/5 Out of Hours support until 4 January 2027 to support the transition to the AP programme launch. To continue to receive Out of Hours support from this date, Users must sign a contract with an Accredited Partner.
The final AP Programme legal agreement and technical specification are now available.
The final legal agreement was published on 17 August 2026 following a 6 week consultation phase, after publication of the draft agreement on 10 June 2026 and the agreement principles on 26 May 2026.
The technical specification outlines the technical interfaces and infrastructure for organisations joining the AP programme.
