Dear Clients,
As the U.S. reverts to standard time for the winter season, there may be delays in clearing sessions with DVP settlements. This is mainly the case for a clearing session that starts at 10:00.
We, therefore, recommend that, during the standard time, you settle your trades during the clearing session that starts at 13:00, or use trading bank accounts with NSD.
