Automatic cash and securities transfers between NCC and NSD.

Moscow Exchange offers the automatic transfer service for cash and securities transfers between NCC and NSD clearing houses. The idea behind the service is to concentrate assets at NCC where they could be used not only to settle trades, but also as collateral either for open trades or for making new trades. For the purposes of settlement of trades to be cleared by NSD, the required amount of assets will be allocated. Cash funds or securities received from counterparties in trades cleared by NSD will be returned to NCC.

Thanks to the service, clients benefit from time and funding cost savings.

The service is fully customizable depending on the client's business specifics: it is possible to automate transfers either in one direction only or in both directions and either for one or more than one asset/account, and to choose a time schedule and calculation method for transfers. The Single Account service allows clients to adjust their settings on-the-fly (e.g., to remove any securities issues/accounts from the scope of automatic transfers).

Funding cost savings; Speed-up of trade settlement thanks to quicker transfers; Freeing of resources thanks to transfer automation on the side of infrastructure; Reduced operational risks (such as errors in manual transfers, delays in giving instructions, communication problems); Cheaper transfers: the client does not need to give further instructions to the custodian, as transfers are made on the basis of a standing instruction.

How does the Single Account operate?

Clients' cash funds and securities are concentrated at NCC.

For the purposes of settlement of OTC trades at NSD, assets are allocated from the client's accounts with NCC.

As soon as OTC trades are settled, assets are automatically returned to the accounts with NCC.

It is possible to use only some parts of the service: NSD->NCC or NCC->NSD transfers; securities transfers or cash transfers.

Problem addressed by the Single Account service

The law requires that clients open a separate trading account with each clearing house, which impairs the effectiveness of on-exchange and OTC trades to be settled on a DVP basis.
