ETS Connect Plus applies for UK bond Consolidated Tape Accredited Partner Programme

Etrading Software, provider of ETS Connect Plus’s UK and EU fixed income data service, has now applied to join the UK bond Consolidated Taper Provider’s (CTP) Accredited Partner Programme (APP). Following the publication of the finalised documentation and tech specification, ETS Connect Plus has now submitted its application to offer 24/5 technical and client service.

 

Under the model, Accredited Partners will operate independently within a shared framework established by the UK bond CTP. Approved Accredited Partners will be able to provide support for connectivity and usage-related queries, helping current Plus and future clients resolve operational issues more quickly and minimise disruption both in and out of UK market hours, to better service global clients accessing the tape.

 

As part of ETS Connect Plus’s Service Agreement for enterprise-grade support, clients can expect responses within 15 minutes of raising queries. Through our dedicated, enterprise Customer Success Team, ETS Connect Plus aims to provide round-the-clock support to customers.

 

“We’re pleased to have submitted our application to the CTP’s Accredited Partner Programme. This is an integral step to providing round-the-clock support for our clients who rely on UK bond CT data for their trading, risk and compliance needs.” – Karl Wyborn, Chief Revenue Officer at Etrading Software

 

As part of the phased introduction of the Accredited Partner model, Etrading Software expects to provide production support to ETS Connect Plus clients from 7 December 2026, ahead of full transition on 4 January 2027.
