Clearstream Bankinginforms customers that effective

immediately

the transaction management process and reporting will be further enhanced to comply with CAJWG/CASG standards and with Issuer-CSD rules, if and when applicable.

Changes to market claims and reverse market claims

DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Option) and DVOP (Dividend Option) events where the securities option is the default, will also become eligible for detection and compensation.

This is reported via MT564 Claim and Reversal Advice (CRA). This report is available upon subscription and covers all events eligible for compensation by Clearstream Banking. It is provided via SWIFT, Xact File Transfer and Xact Web Portal. Customers have the possibility of updating the events to be reported via Xact Web Portal or CreationOnline. 

Customers should take note that occasionally, domestic transactions may be compensated in cash, even though the default is securities, mainly for U.S. securities.

The Customer Handbooks will be updated to reflect these changes.
