Clearing & Settlement

Clearing & Settlement

Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB®, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange), ensures the orderly processing of stock exchange transactions.

In agreement with the respective clearing house, FWB defines which FWB transactions shall be included in central clearing and which securities can be the subject of such transactions. Moreover, it supports order execution by both CCP and non-CCP processing.

Fulfilment of transactions concluded on FWB occurs through Clearstream Banking AG or through another central securities depository recognised in the FWB “Rules and Regulations”.
