How to subscribe to the service
Customers should notify LCH SA RepoClear that their transactions must be settled through Clearstream Banking and send a duly signed PoA to the relevant address of CBL or CBF as mentioned below. The PoA template and the trading venue and CCP overview can be accessed in the attachments section below if logged in as a Premium User.
Customers should complete the PoA on their letterhead using the available template, designating the customer as “The Company” and LCH SA RepoClear as “The Attorney”. The template for CBL customers is available in the attachments below (if logged in as a Premium User). CBF customers should use the standard PoA template available in the Account Opening Forms section.
The PoA should be signed by one or more authorised signatories, in accordance with the rules defined in the authorised signature lists provided to Clearstream Banking.
N.B.: When the PoA permits the attorney to send securities and cash instructions on behalf of the customer, the customer must include (an) account(s) valid for both securities and cash to allow the trading platform or central counterparty to avoid any rejection of the messages sent by the attorney for that purpose.
