Flexibility, due to broad range of eligible collateral

To allow for more flexibility and operational efficiencies we accept the world’s widest spectrum of eligible collateral — with over 25,000 ISINs. Clearing Members can satisfy margin and Clearing Fund requirements by depositing cash, securities or commodities. Cash collateral can be paid in a variety of currencies. The Clearing House stipulates and publishes which currencies are permitted for the deposit of cash collateral and also which securities and commodities are eligible for deposit of non-cash collateral. Accepted securities and commodities are validated on a daily basis.

Please note that for Eurex Clearing's securities lending service a distinctive set of eligible Principal Collateral is applicable. More information is available here.

Transparency, due to comprehensive reporting

Collateral processing takes place in a straightforward manner with transparency for back office staff through to intraday reports and monitoring functionalities.

Efficiency, due to timely validation of collateral and margin requirements

Eurex Clearing’s margin requirements are matched with deposited collateral from Clearing Members intraday or on a day-to-day basis, as well as through the reuse of GC Pooling ECB* Basket Collateral.

Safety, due to highest protection for positions as well as for collateral

Eurex Clearing ensures highest protection by providing asset segregation and timely portability in line with regulatory requirements.
