Clear your NDFs at Eurex Clearing
Eurex NDF Clearing

Non-Deliverable Forwards

Clear your Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) at Eurex Clearing, the EU-based CCP. With Eurex Clearing, you're signed up for future-proof clearing services that provide safety and efficiency to the market.

NDF Clearing has been developed in close cooperation with buy- and sell-side partners, creating a Pan-European service that meets market demands and all regulatory requirements. As a service of Eurex Clearing, NDF Clearing provides exceptional margin, capital and operational efficiencies making Eurex Clearing the go-to CCP for EU market participants.

With phases 1-5 of UMR now in effect, the market focus now shifts to Phase 6, scheduled for September 2022. In the FX space, besides FX options, NDFs are the key product as they contribute to the overall AANA calculation. By centrally clearing these in-scope trades at Eurex Clearing, firms remove transactions from their AANA calculation, potentially removing them from the scope of UMR altogether.
