Connect your benefits by switching your OTC IRD portfolio to Eurex Clearing, the home of the euro yield curve.
 

Why should I switch?

  • A future-proof solution
    Eurex Clearing has proven itself to be a reliable and sustainable Euro liquidity pool and is EU-based and regulated, mitigating any geopolitical changes.
  • Capital Efficiencies
    Take advantage of the full spectrum of services on margin and collateral within Eurex across its listed, OTC and Repo solutions.
  • Risk Reduction
    By diversifying across different CCPs you can decrease risk by increasing mutualization across members for default risk and other non-default losses, as well as increasing the ability to access cash liquidity from European central banks for Euros.
