Natixis Obtains Eurex’s CCP & EurexOTC Clear Membership

The corporate subsidiary of Banque Populaire et Caisse d'Epargne (BPCE), Natixis, has become the newest member of Eurex Securities’ Lending Central Counterparty (CCP) and EurexOTC Clear.

Natixis found itself facing an unfamiliar situation back in September when the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a warning on its website against a fraudster using the details of EEA Authorized company, Dupont Denant Contrepartie S.A, a clone of Natixis.

Eurex is part of the Deutsche Börse Group, granting Natixis a number of advantages such as an integrated cross-product clearing service designed for streamlined securities lending, repo and derivatives.

According to Gregoire Froehlich, trader in securities lending and borrowing at Natixis, in a recent statement on the membership, "The CCP model for Natixis will not only help manage the rising burden of balance sheet Regulation Regulation Like any other industry with a high net worth, the financial services industry is tightly regulated to help curb illicit behavior and manipulation.
