Licensed and exempt clearing and settlement facilities
A clearing and settlement (CS) facility provides the mechanism for parties to a transaction in financial products to meet their obligations to each other. Anyone who operates a CS facility in Australia must obtain a licence to do so, or otherwise be exempted by the Minister (or an ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþdelegate).
½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþis responsible for the supervision of operators CS facilities. We advise the Government (or an ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþdelegate) on changes to licensee operating rules and on applications for new CS facility licences.
