Both existing and potential trading participants benefit from an new option, in addition to SIX x-clear Ltd and LCH Ltd, to select their ideal setup.

Internationalization of clearing services

In parallel to the admission of EuroCCP to the Swiss market, SIX has extended its clearing services to the Nordic markets.
