JP Morgan signs up 18 CLS third-party customers

JP Morgan Treasury Services, a unit of JP Morgan Chase, has signed up 18 third-party service customers to allow them access to continuous linked settlement (CLS). The third-party service contracts allow counterparts to settle their foreign exchange trades via JP Morgan on CLS, where JP Morgan is one of the system’s 39 settlement members.

Third parties are due to gain access to CLS through full-member institutions on November 4. To date, only settlement members could put their trades through the system, set up to reduce the threat of settlement and systemic risk in the forex business.

Earlier this month, RiskNews’ sister publication FX Week reported that HSBC has signed up to 19 third-party CLS clients and Citigroup has nine such agreements.

The long-delayed CLS project went live for settlement members on September 9.
