CACEIS

Custody at CACEIS covers safekeeping and settlement of securities as well as asset servicing, such as collecting interest and dividends and processing corporate actions. As depositary, the bank holds the assets of a fund apart from its manager and checks that the manager follows the fund rules. Fund administration adds the daily net asset value, the fund accounting and the register of fund shareholders.

CACEIS also lists trade execution and clearing, foreign exchange, securities lending, support for fund distribution, middle-office outsourcing and services for issuers on its own website.

On 30 June 2025 CACEIS announced that the French ACPR had authorized CACEIS Bank as a crypto-asset service provider under Article 60 of MiCA, after an opinion of the AMF. The authorization covers custody and administration of crypto-assets, reception and transmission of orders, and transfers of crypto-assets.

With the European passport CACEIS Bank can offer these services in every EU country, so a fund in Germany can hold crypto-assets at the same depositary bank that keeps its securities. CACEIS is one of the banks among the largest crypto custodians in Europe, next to specialist firms that hold only crypto-assets.

In Germany the group works through CACEIS Bank, Germany Branch, a branch of the French CACEIS Bank S.A. with offices in Munich and Frankfurt. According to CACEIS, the branch has 450 employees and offers the full range of custody and fund administration as well as the depositary function for all asset types. CACEIS counts itself among the ten largest depositaries in Germany and in third place for real asset funds, such as real estate funds.

Anja Maiberger leads the Germany branch of CACEIS as Country Managing Director. German asset managers use the branch as depositary for their funds under the German Investment Code, which requires an independent depositary for every investment fund.

The Munich office of CACEIS Bank, Germany Branch, is at Lilienthalallee 36, 80939 Munich. The Frankfurt office of the branch is at Carl-von-Noorden-Platz 5, 60596 Frankfurt am Main, south of the river Main.

On 3 July 2023 CACEIS completed the purchase of the European and Malaysian businesses of RBC Investor Services Bank S.A., and these businesses took the name CACEIS Investor Services Bank S.A., as the Luxembourg page of CACEIS states. On 1 June 2024 CACEIS merged the European entities of the former RBC business in Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Ireland and Switzerland into its own companies.

CACEIS Bank S.A. is the French credit institution of the CACEIS group and holds the banking license for custody and depositary services. The branches in other countries, such as the Germany branch in Munich, work under this license, and since June 2025 CACEIS Bank also holds the MiCA authorization for crypto custody.
