Frequently asked questions

How does it work?

As the pledgor, you will indicate - from your available inventory - the collateral that can be used in order to cover the exposures with your counterparties.

Will my custodian also be involved?

You can indeed choose to involve your custodian in this process. If you decide to do so, information on the collateral available in the books and records of your preferred custodian will be sent to Euroclear through a Collateral Portfolio file – with the support of your custodian or collateral manager.

What will Euroclear do?

The Euroclear Bank collateral management system will check that the proposed collateral is available and in line with the pre-agreed collateral profile, defined at the level of your triparty agreement.

We will then assess its value and generate standard SWIFT messages which will be sent to your designated custodian in order for them to refl ect the pledged collateral positions in the their books and record.

How do you keep track of securities movements?

Your custodian will send Euroclear Bank settlement feedback messages and, providing settlement has been successful, our collateral management system will reflect the movements and we will then report back to the pledgor and pledgee.
