“Cross-border Services” is the first pan-European cross-border settlement solution, in central bank money – at close-to-domestic prices. Clearstream’s Cross-border Services already deliver safe, efficient and cost-effective services for our customers in the first stage of our new CSD link network. Work is continuing full steam ahead as our Cross-border Services and Link Up Markets develop, with new capabilities coming onstream and more CSDs joining the expanding network. Essentially, Cross-border Services is already accomplishing the aims and efficiencies planned for the TARGET2-Securities system. Cross-border Services can be accessed via Clearstream’s settlement system CASCADE. The main service features are: Simple set-up based on CASCADE - Single operational account and processes
- Single central bank cash account
- Single technical connectivity

Comprehensive service scope - All asset classes
- All trade types and venues
- Asset servicing and domestic market standards

For all markets a consistent service level is envisaged – compliant to ISO 15022 and with close-to-market deadlines. Our customers can expect continual service enhancements and opportunities being unveiled over the next couple of years to support Clearstream’s comprehensive package of settlement and custody solutions for European domestic markets. |
