Settlement agents - market access overview

Authorisation or declaration of no-objection

Parties wishing to enter the financial market must have permission to do so, for example in the form of an authorisation. They can submit an application for authorisation to DNB. We will then check whether all applicable requirements have been met and whether the requested authorisation can be granted.
