TCS to Modernise Muscat Clearing and Depository System

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed an agreement with Muscat Clearing and Depository (MCD), Oman’s central securities depository, to modernise its depository system. This initiative aims to enhance MCD’s operational efficiency by integrating advanced digital solutions and strengthening its market infrastructure.

Enhancing Market Infrastructure with TCS BaNCS

TCS will implement TCS BaNCS for Market Infrastructure, a globally recognised solution for central securities depositories (CSDs), exchanges, and central banks. This technology will enable MCD to streamline clearing, settlement, and asset servicing while ensuring seamless integration across multiple asset classes. With cloud-based deployment, MCD will enhance operational efficiency, offering faster and more secure transaction processing.

Integration of Quartz for Future-Proof Operations

As part of this transformation, MCD will also leverage Quartz Gateway, a TCS solution designed to enable secure and efficient market integration. This will support collateral management, central counterparty clearing, and risk management. The adoption of digital and cloud-enabled technologies will enhance the overall customer experience and align MCD with global financial standards.
