ISO 20022 rollout for general meetings – Facilitation of Relationship Management Applications (RMA) key exchange - Update

18.11.2021

Note: This announcement, originally published on 19 October 2021, has been updated to provide customers with information on the RMA key exchange process. Changes have been highlighted.

Further to Announcement L21048 Clearstream postponed the ISO 20022 Rollout for General Meetings. The already completed RMA key exchange will be eligible for the upcoming rollout at a later date in 2022.

Also additional RMA key exchange process will be initiated for customers who have not yet done it.

As part of our regular communications, and further to Announcement L21033, Clearstream Banking1 would like to inform customers about the process of RMA key exchange.

The RMA key is required for the exchange of General Meeting messages, in ISO 20022 via SWIFT Finplus.

Clearstream Banking has already initiated the process.

In more detail:

  • Clearstream sends an authorisation to receive seev.004 and seev.005;
  • Customers need to accept this request; and
  • In turn, send the authorisation to Clearstream Banking allowing the sending of messages seev.001, seev.002, seev.003, seev.006, seev.007 and seev.008.

RMA key exchanges already completed will be eligible for the upcoming rollout at a later date in 2022.

Once RMA exchange is finalised, customers must communicate the Distinguished Name (DN) and the list of accounts that must be linked to the DN via SWIFT message MT599 and via email to customeradmin@clearstream.com.
