ISV & Service Provider Support

Independent Software Vendor (ISV)

In addition to the Trader GUI, Eurex Exchange participants may also use Third Party Software from Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to access trading (ETI, FIX-LF), clearing (FIXML, AMQP, FpML, Margin Calculator) and market and reference data interfaces.  

If it is intended to employ such a Third Party Software, the respective ISV must be registered at Eurex Deutschland and/ or Eurex Clearing.  


How to register?

As of 30 September 2024, registration of ISVs is possible via the ISV Registration tile in the Member Section. A detailed description of the ISV registration process is available in the ISV Registration User Guide.

Registered ISVs are also required to register all the software they offer to Eurex trading participants and clearing members via the Software Registration app available in the Member Section. A detailed description of the Software registration process is available in the Software Registration User Guide
