LCH.Clearnet signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Multilateral Clearing Facility (EMCF) to introduce a user-choice clearing model.

 

The agreement will enable trading participants on Chi-X and BATS Europe to select the clearing house of their choice, maximising value to users whilst continuing to ensure the highest standards of risk management. LCH.Clearnet members can benefit from higher volumes which translate into lower clearing fees, now as low as 1p.

 

In 2003, LCH.Clearnet led the way with clearing house interoperability by successfully implementing and operating a clearing service for SIX Swiss Exchange (formerly virt-x) with SIX x-clear (formerly SIS x-clear).
