EurexOTC Clear truly meets the market needs for the clearing of OTC transactions, by reducing counterparty risk, margin and collateral requirements and at the same time providing client asset segregation and legal certainty.

As required by the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), clients of Clearing Members will have the choice as to how their positions and margin collateral (cash and securities) is held and posted by their Clearing Member at Eurex Clearing, depending on each individual client's needs.

We support our customers in complying with existing client segregation requirements within EMIR (Omnibus/ISA). Our clearing models can further support tri-party segregation, which improves the functionality of the service, and direct delivery of collateral – allowing ISA-segregated clients to minimise transit risk.

Our ISA Direct model combines elements of a direct clearing membership and the traditional service relationship in client clearing - tailored specifically to the buy side.  It opens up a new principal client relationship between buy side clients and the CCP, with the regular Clearing Member acting as a Clearing Agent, providing a variety of mandatory and optional service functions.
