B3 has selected Vermiculus for a monumental Central Security Depository project, set to modernize and futureproof the centralized deposit services provided by B3.
The new CSD system will be based on Vermiculus’ VeriClear, an elastically scalable and AI-powered real-time system. The system has a top modern microservice-based architecture enabling a new standard for high efficiency.
This joint project will bring a cloud-native architecture and an exceptionally short time-to-market for new products in B3’s CSD business line. The cutting-edge technology will provide B3 with a fast reconciliation process, flexible corporate action features, and a flexible account model. The new Brazilian CSD system will also handle extremely large volumetrics.
Modernization of the central depository, which was founded in 2004, will grant B3 the capacity over the next 15 years to respond to capital market demand and growth in products and services and in the volume of investors, issuers, and assets under custody.

The centralized deposit service provided by B3’s CSD comprises the central safekeeping of fungible and non-fungible assets, the control of their effective ownership, and the administration of the corporate actions related to these assets. B3´s CSD plays a critical role in the protection of assets and helps ensuring the integrity of asset transactions.
“The Vermiculus cloud platform will allow B3 to apply state-of-the-art technology and to prepare for increased demand and the expected development of Brazil’s investments ecosystem. The new reality for the financial market and prospects for the future require an innovative, more agile structure with a scalable capacity that has support for the deposit of new types of assets,” explained Viviane Basso, B3’s Chief Operating Officer – Issuers, Depository and OTC.
She added that infrastructure modernization will reduce the time-to-market for new initiatives and for the demands of B3’s clients. “This technology reaffirms our commitment to continuous evolution and to providing an excellent service for the entire market. We will provide this platform to other infrastructures, assuring strength and security for participants such as investors, brokerage houses, investment banks, issuers, and regulators.”
This will be the most modern CSD system to date. With its AI-powered microservices, the new system will assure that B3 will be able to provide the highest quality of CSD services for many years to come. The recognized flexibility of the Vermiculus system stems from its microservice architecture, elastic scalability, and AI-power components designed for high efficiency operations. These constituents make it easy to expand the system with new products, corporate actions, and other algorithms with short time-to-market. Further, the scalability of the system allows for additions and removals of microservices in run time. In addition, the possibility to either run entirely in the cloud, on premise, or a hybrid model allows for efficient testing and quality assurance, among other benefits.
