Services & Solutions > Settlement
Every 6 days we settle transactions equivalent to the GDP of the European Union
You expect smooth settlement of all your trades, however they are made - via stock exchange, Multi-lateral Trading Facility (MTF), or over-the-counter (OTC); bilaterally with your counterparty.
As a world leader in settlement automation, we can settle almost every domestic and international securities transaction, helping to drive down risk with:
- Straight-Through Processing (STP) rates of up to, and above, 99%
- Delivery-Versus-Payment (DVP) on all securities settlement services
Our settlement services let you:
- centralise your assets and access to liquidity
- optimise the use of your assets
- benefit from a full range of value-added services
Both Euroclear Bank, as an International Central Securities Depositary (ICSD), and the Euroclear Central Securities Depositories (CSDs) offer a very low-risk DVP settlement environment: cash moves from the buyer’s to the seller’s account at the same time as the transfer of securities, on settlement date.
- Euroclear Bank settles against payment in money held on a Euroclear Bank cash account - commercial bank money
- Euroclear CSDs offer settlement services against payment in money held with the relevant national central bank – central bank money
