Eurex Clearing, a central clearing counterparty (CCP) for derivatives transactions executed on the Eurex platform, has connected Bloomberg as an approved trade source for EurexOTC Clear, the Interest Rate Swaps Clearing offering of Deutsche Börse. Traders using Bloomberg's electronic trading or post-trade voice confirmation systems will now be able to directly submit their OTC trades for clearing on Eurex Clearing's OTC CCP.

The service creates significant workflow and Execution efficiencies to the shared clients of Bloomberg and EurexOTC Clear.

The direct connectivity means that Bloomberg's large sell and buy-side community can benefit from straight through processing (STP) of their OTC transactions, reducing time to market and providing a valuable improvement for the whole industry. The first trade to be successfully cleared using this direct connectivity was between Société Générale and Zürcher Kantonalbank.
