Collateral framework

What EPPO does for authorised clients

The Office administers a Union-wide collateral framework. Authorised clients post collateral against requirements set by our administration and demonstrate compliance through this portal.

Collateral requirements

EPPO administrators set a single collateral requirement per client, denominated in the client's operating currency. Requirements are reviewed quarterly.

Client accounts

One balance-of-record per authorised client, reconciled in real time against posted collateral and shown live in the portal.

Compliance reporting

Downloadable statements, full audit trail and quarterly compliance certificates suitable for submission to national supervisors.

Supervisory alerts

Immediate notification of any shortfall, with administrator notes attached to the client dossier for remediation and follow-up.

Eligibility

Access to the portal is restricted to institutions formally authorised by EPPO. Applications are made through the competent national supervisor of a participating Member State.

  • Credit institutions authorised in a participating Member State
  • Investment firms holding client assets subject to EPPO oversight
  • Payment institutions handling Union-interest funds
  • Fiduciaries designated by a national supervisor
