Overview of functional enhancements:
Registration of Trading Locations
The paper-based process of registration and termination of Trading Locations receives a digital makeover. With the new process through the Member Section, users will be able to
Digitalization of the process offers several advantages to Trading Participants:
To access the new service, users will need the new permission: “Trading Location Eurex”.
The Central Coordinator will be assigned per default and without further action the new permission “Trading Location Eurex” and be able to assign or to revoke the market-specific permission for other users.
To leverage these improvements effectively, users are encouraged to take the following actions:
Decommissioning of Qualified Back Office (QBO) exams
With the December 2023 Release, the QBO exams will be decommissioned. Decommissioning of the QBO exams will simplify the admission requirements for QBO admission. Users will no longer be able to book a QBO exam within the Member Section. Previously passed QBO exams will remain valid and be accepted as proof of sufficient qualification to perform the respective roles. Individuals who have not previously passed the exam, can be admitted by providing a confirmation of their sufficient qualification submitted by their Compliance Officer.
Exchange Trader confirmation/declaration of personal reliability
Currently, when submitting their trader application via the Member Section, traders are mandated to confirm all the statements listed on the declaration regarding their personal reliability. If no confirmation is provided, the application is not accepted by the system.
With this release, the system will accept applications even if the confirmation is not provided, however, the underlying requirement for personal reliability remains unaffected. Consequently, reliability of the applicant where the confirmations are incomplete will be verified separately in each individual case (post submission of the electronic application).
If you have questions or require further information, please contact your Trading Key Account Manager or send an e-mail to: member.section@deutsche-boerse.com.
