CCP.A
as the central counterparty for all CCP-eligible securities in Vienna

Nowadays, a modern capital market cannot survive without a central counterparty (CCP) for stock exchange transactions. In Austria, CCP.A ensures the clearing and risk management of all stock exchange transactions performed on the Vienna Stock Exchange on behalf of Wiener Börse AG.

CCP.A serves as a central contractual partner for all Clearing Members: it acts as counterparty in all transactions on the Vienna Stock Exchange and thus accepts the fulfilment guarantee for all payments and deliveries connected with the transaction. Therefore, CCP.A functions, on the one hand as a buyer for all sellers, and on the other as a seller for all buyers.

As the central counterparty, CCP Austria Abwicklungsstelle für Börsengeschäfte GmbH (CCP.A) is responsible for the clearing and risk management of all CCP-eligible securities of Wiener Börse AG and assumes and manages the settlement and default risk.

Services of CCP.A

CLEARING
CCP.A clears all transactions concluded in trading in CCP-eligible securities at Wiener Börse AG. As a central contractual party, CCP.A is positioned between the buyer and seller, and thus assumes the settlement and default risk for all transactions.
Furthermore, CCP Clearing significantly reduces the settlement volume through netting, i.e. offsetting the buy and sell transactions of Clearing Members.

RISK MANAGEMENT
As an EMIR-certified central counterparty, CCP.A is responsible for the clearing and risk management of all CCP-eligible transactions on Wiener Börse AG as well as for assuming the settlement and default risk. This includes accepting the counterparty credit risk and the market risk. In order to fulfil these tasks, CCP.A has implemented a solid risk management system corrensponds to the complexity of the business processes and the cleared products.

Three arguments in favour of CCP.A

CCP.A significantly reduces your settlement volume through efficient clearing and netting.

CCP.A assumes and manages your settlement and default risk with its solid risk management system.

The modern clearing system of CCP.A offers you a highly flexible account structure as well as real-time reporting.
