Register of clearing institutions

A clearing institution performs a buffer function in stock exchange trading between a securities trader and a central counterparty. The clearing institution acts as a guarantor for the trader, even if it cannot fulfil its obligations. Banks may also carry out clearing activities.

Clearing institutions wishing to operate in the Netherlands must have a licence from DNB. The register lists all authorised clearing institutions.
