This new regulation obliges the buyer in a securities transaction to initiate a buy-in process against the seller if the settlement of a transaction fails after a certain period.

It calls for a neutral third party to act as the Buy-in Agent. Eurex STS’ Buy-in Agent service will be able to act as this third party and thus enable market participants to comply with the new regulation.

The goal of this regulation is to increase efficiency in the area of securities settlement by, for example, reducing the number of settlement fails that occur.

“We are delighted to have received the banking licence from BaFin, and we will continue to work towards launching our new service for the buy-in regime in February 2021,” said Marcus Addison, Managing Director at Eurex STS.

“Our solution leverages our considerable experience in offering trusted securities trading infrastructure to the market – it will provide an automated and standardised solution to assist market participants with regulatory compliance,” he added.

Key milestone

“Securing the banking licence from BaFin is a significant event for us in the launch of this new service. We have been in contact with many potential clients who are interested in using our service and have been working with them to prepare and optimize their back-office functions in order to make the transition to the new settlement discipline regime as smooth as possible,” said Marcel Naas, Managing Director at Eurex STS

The new service will handle buy-in requests and, when instructed to do so by registered clients, source the relevant securities in automated auctions and deliver them to the client on the same day.
