Repo Dealer Codes (“RD Codes”)

From the 1 April 2016 further changes in our fee structure will be implemented and are detailed below:

1. Currently Repo Clearing Members who have more than one underlying RD Code do not incur any additional charges. With effect 1 April 2016, a new charge of €2,000 per additional RD Code per month will be introduced.

2. In the interim, we will be contacting Clearing Members who operate these codes to identify if they are still needed or can be cancelled, therefore avoiding the above new charges.
