Directly Connected Parties Group (DCPG)

The primary role of the Directly Connected Parties Group (DCPG) is to track and monitor the resolution of general concerns that are relevant for directly connected parties (DCPs) in T2S. The DCPs are clients of the CSDs or of the national central banks which have been authorised to connect to T2S directly.

The group is composed of representatives of DCPs, CSDs and national central banks.

It reports to the T2S steering bodies, i.e. the Market Infrastructure Board, the CSD Steering Group and, when applicable, the Non-euro Currencies Steering Group.
