In the UK and most European countries, Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends on Sunday, 25 October 2026, at 01:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). As clocks go back one hour, please also ensure your trade/transaction reporting continues to reflect the correct time.
Here are 2 tips to help you ensure your trades/transactions are reported at the correct time:
1. Check the time fields in your first post-DST handback files
You will receive the first post-DST handback files on Tuesday, 27 October 2026.
The UK’s FCA has previously raised concerns with inaccurate trading date time submissions (in Market Watch 59) during DST changes and advised firms to have arrangements in place to maintain consistent, accurate reporting.
