Dedicated Cash Account - Legal DCAs: legal perimeter of TARGET2 Harmonized conditions for the opening and operation of a Dedicated Cash Account in TARGET2 Harmonized... in TARGET-BE Participation rules for PM-accounts= DCA Investment firms in TARGET2-BE No participation until now. What as DCA holder? Intraday credit Arrangement with a MFI- for coverage end of day debit position Autocollateralisation T2S condition= PM account 7
DEDICATED CASH ACCOUNT (DCA) 8
Dedicated Cash Account (DCA) DCAs in euro will be in the TARGET2 perimeter and its operational framework will apply DCAs are opened and administered by CBs, which hold the business relationship with the DCA holders Participation requirements identical to opening a TARGET2 RTGS account Managed on T2S platform DCAs will be used for T2S cash-related operations No negative balance Start and end of day balance = zero Linked to an RTGS account: main RTGS Linked to a securities account(s) 9

DCA numbering DCAs addressed by BIC11 plus BIC of the respective central bank In addition, the following numbering convention for DCA accounts has been developed by the Eurosystem and TARGET2 user groups: Name Format Content Purpose Account type 1 char. exactly C for cash account Helps differentiating between cash and securities accounts. Country code of the Central Bank 2 char. exactly ISO country code Helps identifying the Central Bank in the books of which the account is held. Currency code 3 char. exactly ISO currency code Helps differentiating between accounts in different currencies. Account holder 11 char. exactly BIC Identifies the holder of the account. Sub-classification of the account Up to 17 char.

STATIC DATA 39
Static Data Each payment bank/dca holder will have to register multiple times 2x for test environment T2S community pre-production 1x for production environment The standard DCA forms will be available via the TARGET2-BE website of the NBB Paper based forms The forms must be duly signed before forwarded to the responsible CB 40
Static Data The NBB can assist on filling in the forms We advise to send the forms at least 2 weeks before the activation date Check forms Entering forms in static data Links must be entered by other CSDs or NCBs Check by DCA holder 41
Static Data The DCA holder is responsible for: Completing the DCA forms Forwarding all the necessary forms to the responsible CB The CBs are responsible for: Entering the static data into the system Providing a direct point of contact for all questions Forwarding the forms to another CB whenever appropriate In addition the participants will be invited to doublecheck via the T2S GUI the static data entered by the CB 42
Static Data Two types of forms have been developed in TARGET2 Forms for Cash Directly Connected Parties (DCPs) linked to T2S via a Value Added Network service provider (A2A and U2A) Forms for Cash Indirectly Connected Parties (ICPs) linked to T2S via the Target2 Value Added Services for T2S 43
Static Data Forms for Directly connected DCA holders Forms for Indirectly connected DCA holders The registration process for DCA holders follows the process currently in place for PM account holders: CB enters the static data into T2S (after validation) and grants access rights (pre-defined roles) (directly /Indirectly connected) DCA Holders 44 Central Bank

DCA Info session Yvan Timmermans 9 December 2014
AUTO-COLLATERALISATION 51
What is T2S auto-collateralisation? Intraday credit operation Automatically triggered by T2S (no instructions to be sent by parties) When a buyer lacks funds for settling a securities transaction Solely created for the settlement of the underlying transaction During day-time and night-time settlement 52
Why is auto-collateralisation needed? To reduce Settlement failures due to lack of liquidity Gridlocks (when one party cannot deliver assets to another as it has not settled the assets) Intraday liquidity needs for the settlement of assets To ease the settlement especially during the night time period 53
Central Bank auto-collateralisation Central Bank auto-collateralisation T2S core settlement optimization procedure automatically providing the buyer with collateralised liquidity in case the buyer lacks liquidity on the T2S Dedicated Cash Account to settle the underlying DvP transaction On flow (credit secured by purchased securities) or on stock (credit secured by securities already held by the buyer in an earmarked position) No limits set by the NCBs To be reimbursed before close-of-day with an automated reimbursement triggered by T2S 54
Client Collateralisation Client collateralisation Payment Bank A s ability to provide intraday credit to a Payment Bank B making use of its DCA Triggered by T2S when the PB B is exceeding the headroom limits set by PB A Payment Bank A must provide list of assets and prices to T2S 55
Reimbursement on the initiative of the credit taker At the moment of triggering of auto-collateralisation T2S will also create reverse settlement instructions and puts them on Party hold It is up to the credit taker to release the on hold transactions to trigger reimbursement Cut-off for reimbursement: 4pm 56
Conditions for T2S auto-collateralisation NCB offers auto-collateralisation Buyer eligible counterparty (same conditions as for TARGET2 intraday credit => T2 Guideline) Agreement with its NCB (Reglement betreffende intradaykredietverlening en monetaire beleidsoperaties / Règlement des crédits intrajournaliers et des opérations de politique monétaire) Own RTGS account and own DCA Used collateral is eligible For non-domestic collateral: Domestic CSD of the NCB has links Specific case of the NBB: will open a receiving securities account in more than one CSD 57
Collateralisation techniques (repo/pledge) Repo: underlying collateral transferred to NCB s securities account Pledge: underlying collateral booked in favour of NCB but staying on the account of the counterparty Variant 1: so called pledge Collateral transferred to counterparty s pledge securities account Variant 2: so called pledge-sub Collateral earmarked on a counterparty s main securities account 58
Collateralisation technique with NBB Technical setup: repo NBB will open a dedicated NCB auto-collateralisation securities account in NBB-SSS and possibly in Euroclear France/BNYMellon CSD NBB will open an auto-collateralisation cash account as credit giver Legal setup: transfer on a pledge account of the NBB 59
Static Data: roles of the counterparties Earmarking of the securities On flow At the level of: the securities account the settlement instruction (account level overrides instruction level) On stock At the level of: the securities account the securities position in a securities account No earmarking of securities with close links = responsibility of the counterparty 60
Static Data: roles of the NCB To provide to T2S: Eligible assets Valuation of the assets To check the close links (ex-post) 61
Substitution (lack of securities) T2S will substitute securities used as collateral in an auto-collateralisation operation if they are needed for settling a settlement transaction T2S will release the on hold transaction If enough liquidity: OK If lack of liquidity: generation of a new autocollateralisation operation 62
Automated reimbursement (rebalancing of cash on DCAs) If reimbursement is not done by credit taker on its own initiative => mandatory/automated reimbursement of the intraday credit T2S will automatically use all the liquidity available on the DCAs (liquidity rebalancing) 63
Automated reimbursement (relocation of collateral) Exceptional case: procedure when insufficient liquidity after rebalancing Relocation of the equivalent collateral to the regular NCB collateral securities account Increase of the credit line in T2 Reimbursement of the NCB in T2 If liquidity on the PM account in T2 is still missing: intraday credit => marginal lending facility 64
T2S Pricing for auto-collateralisation Auto-collateralisation transactions (Provision of liquidity, rebooking of securities): free in T2S End of day relocation of collateral (exceptional case): 1.000 EUR Reporting (as reporting messages): depending on message and report subscription 65
Belgian specificities 3 CSDs in T2S: NBB-SSS, Euroclear Belgium and BNYMellon CSD Euroclear Belgium (EBE) is not an Eurosystem eligible CSD: NBB can therefore not receive collateral in EBE NBB-SSS has no links Consequence: in principle only eligible assets issued in NBB-SSS are currently usable for autocollateralisation by Belgian payment banks 66
Belgian specificities (examples) Belgian DCA Holder is participant in Monte-Titoli (MT) No auto-collateralisation using Italian securities (no link NBB- SSS with MT) Auto-collateralisation (on stock) using eligible securities held in the NBB-SSS possible Belgian DCA Holder is participant in Euroclear Belgium Auto-collateralisation (on stock) using eligible securities held in the NBB-SSS possible 67
NBB participant in Euroclear France / BNY Mellon CSD Euroclear France (EF) has links with non-eses CSDs NBB could open a receiving securities account in EF NBB could then receive collateral through the eligible links held by EF Same process could be applied when BNYMellon CSD will: Be in T2S Have eligible links with other T2S CSDs 68
Normal mobilisation with NBB Besides auto-collateralisation, the current collateralisation procedures of monetary policy operations and intraday credit remain as is after migration to T2S Counterparty will still: Send a mobilization instruction to NBB Back Office Send a transfer instruction to the CSD (NBB-SSS, Euroclear Bank, BNYMellon CSD or a foreign CSD (CCBM)) 69

TESTING 71
User testing: general issues No DCA s will be opened by payment banks connected via the NBB in wave 1 Testing with the community as from 21 September 2015 Testing will be performed on 2 different environments: Community Pre-production Parties defined with set of production BIC s: BIC11 of system entity & own BIC11 72
Set-up of the test environments Static data: pre-migration dress rehearsal: Upload production like set of static data By system entities (NBB in close cooperation with the migrating CSD s) Example interaction needed: NBB to create payment bank and DCA; CSD to create CSD client and securities account; CSD to link securities account and DCA By DCP s: connectivity testing at the latest 1 month before start testing activities Start of the pre-migration activities (proposal): Community: 21/06/2015 Pre-production: 14/11/2015 73
Set-up of the test environments (2) Dynamic data:migration weekend dress rehearsal Testing of migration weekend playbook Upload by system entities: All transactional data and positions by CSD s; NBB to provide CMS feeds and monitor liquidity transfers Timing: Community: 19-20 September 2015 16-17 January 2016 (backup) Pre-production: 13-14 February 2016 74
Set-up of users by payment bank NBB to create administrator user for each party This user is able to create it s own users and grant them privileges or roles in 2 or 4 eyes Privilege: capability of triggering T2S functions Role: set of privileges At Eurosystem level there is an agreement to provide payment banks with a set of predefined roles Eg: Liquidity manager 2 or 4 eyes grouping all privileges to query a DCA, initiate liquidity transfers, create-delete-modify liquidity transfer order, NBB can always act on behalf of its parties 75
Testing on the community environment Connectivity DCP certification: only by participants connecting in A2A mode Prove not to harm the system Limited set of test cases During first 4 weeks following the migration weekend dress rehearsal 76
Testing on the community environment Authorisation: Test cases defined by Eurosystem Mandatory/Conditional based on business activity in production environment includes: Access right management Liquidity management Auto / client collateralisation Reports Queries Monitoring by NBB End-to-end testing possible: T2 connected 77
Business day testing stage Objective: verify correct functioning of T2S under production-like conditions Includes simulation of several consecutive business days after migration Includes testing of operational procedures described in the MOP Run for 2 to 4 weeks with the T2S live timing 78
