Client Clearing Group manages Collateral for all its clients that clear trades through centralized clearing houses. The group generates/sends margin calls to its clients on behalf of clearing houses in which they hold account. The group is responsible for ensuring that BNP is covered in terms of Credit Risk by issuing Intraday Calls as per notification from clearing houses and Prefunding client accounts as per market fluctuation. The group also reconciles Start of day balances with clearing house and accordingly transfers funds to ensure that there is no impact on clients trading activities throughout the day. Apart from call and bond bookings the group also looks after Start of Day activities which involves sending Margin Summary Notices to clients. The process requires individually monitoring and resolving breaks that occur on each component of Margin Summary Notice and ensuring that Margin Call notices generated are in line with balances published by all the clearing houses that we deal with. This is an extremely time sensitive activity and requires liaising with IT Support, Data Storage, Legal, Middle Office and Clearing Houses.
