Automating the wheel of fortune
For a market that trades in financial instruments, taking informed risks is
part of the business. At S.W.I.F.T. we believe that educated gambles are
the domain of the front office. With automated tools, we can take the
risk out of your back office operations. We can reduce your costs. And
we can also speed up your processing.
S.W.I.F.T. is focusing its efforts in the trading market on creating end-
to-end standard communication and processing for key players. Our
approach is based on the belief that totally efficient trading can only be
achieved once the entire transaction cycle has been automated.
The hallmark of our service offering is a secure, reliable, global network
which is the vehicle for transporting universally recognised, structured
messages. The result is standardised machine-readable communications.
S.W.I.F.T.s messages in the treasury and derivatives range currently
cover nearly all currency and interest rate products, including spot
foreign exchange, forwards, options and swaps. The International Swaps
and Derivatives Association (ISDA) endorses all our messages in the
swaps and derivatives range. Messages have been enhanced to more
fully reflect today's trading practices and to facilitate greater end-to-end
processing.
Even so, full automation is dependent upon users having up-to-date,
accurate operational data. We intend to supply that information in
support of standing settlement instructions. S.W.I.F.T. Treasury
Directory, enables authenticated, and structured, exchange of these
instructions, allowing you to increase your matching rate and reduce the
possibility of incorrect payments.
In 1996 the G-10 central banks launched a major campaign to reduce
foreign exchange settlement risk with a strong call to action for FX
players worldwide.
6
While the launch of CLS (Continuous Linked Settlement System) is the
most notable industry level effort to reduce settlement exposure,
S.W.I.F.T. has a range of tools to help the individual banks to realise
their full risk-reducing potential. The S.W.I.F.T. solutions are developed
to support your business needs and include besides the network,
messaging and directories, the industrys leading confirmation matching
service Accord as well as Accord bi-lateral netting service. Some 460
institutions use the Accord matching service today.
Furthermore, S.W.I.F.T. has been selected to provide all the networking
components to the CLS system. The S.W.I.F.T. CLS member network
services encompass the three areas of communication within the CLS
system: the transaction input, real-time operational information and
messaging for liquidity and funding provision.
The BIS report on settlement risk in the OTC derivative market, issued
in September 1998, served as a catalyst for automation initiatives in the
market. Many market-makers are in the process of updating their
workflow and automating the generation and matching of trade
confirmations. S.W.I.F.T. messages and Accords matching service are
the de-facto standard in the market for this activity. Accord also serves
as the matching gateway for London Clearing Houses SwapClear
service (a central clearing service for interest rate swaps).
S.W.I.F.T. is also developing and planning the implementation of XML-
based standards to eventually replace its current FIN syntax in the world
of financial messaging. A Secure IP Network (SIPN) is being built and
will carry the first interactive messages for the CLS Bank as they begin
their testing in 2000.
All information in this document reflects the situation at the end of 1999
- the time of going to print. Message standards are as per Standards
Release for 2000 (SDR2000). Our products and services are evolving
and we like to encourage you to check our web-site from time to time to
keep abreast with up-grades and changes: www.swift.com
7
S.W.I.F.T. is in an excellent position to help you prepare to prepare
through a combination of initiatives in value-added communications,
standards, STP, partner solutions, and operational information products
in the field of Treasury and Derivatives .
This binder is designed to help you get the most from S.W.I.F.T. and the
universal language of S.W.I.F.T. standards, and we hope you will find it
useful. Better use of message standards will enable you to reduce
settlement risk, and is the first step to automating the commercial 'wheel
of fortune'.

Laying the foundation
for end-to-end processing
To provide players in foreign exchange, money markets and derivatives
with all the tools they need to achieve end-to-end STP (or straight-
through) processing, S.W.I.F.T. is focusing its attention on five key
areas.
Connecting
As a starting point you need to be able to connect to your counterparties'
computers to be able to communicate. In less than 25 years we have built
a network of truly global connectivity. Today more than 3000
institutions send and receive category 3 messages. In order to include all
market participants the non-bank financial institutions and corporate
counterparties are allowed to exchange confirmations with their bank
counterparties over the S.W.I.F.T. network since June 1999.
Communicating
The next step is to enable you to communicate in a universally
recognised language. As a neutral, trusted third-party cooperative
organisation S.W.I.F.T. is the standards authority that and has been at
the forefront of developing standardised alphanumeric message formats
that are machine readable.
Operational Information
But what use are message standards if you use different data from your
counterparties, or even incorrect data? To achieve straight-through
processing, you need to ensure that the right data is included in the
messages. To achieve higher STP rates S.W.I.F.T. has developed a
family of Operational Information Services (OIS) to provide centralised
electronic directories, like the Treasury Directory, Bic Database Plus and
the Payments Directory to enable accurate, up-to-date information in a
secure and authenticated environment.
10
Value-Added services
With clean data you can maximise the potential of further computer
operated services to save you time, cut costs and reduce risk. For
instance you can use our service, AccordTM to check that the trade
confirmations you send to your counterparties correspond with the
confirmations you receive. You can also use Accord to net the deals you
transact with your counterparties on a bilateral basis during a day, and so
reduce the payments you need to make to one per currency, and per deal
type.
Partnering
To assist vendors in providing S.W.I.F.T. enabled products and services,
S.W.I.F.T. s Partner Solutions team provides SWIFTReady
accreditation to measure the compatibility of vendor products and
services with S.W.I.F.T. solutions. Through this programme, the Partner
Solutions team assists customers to achieve end-to-end automation
through identification and implementation of S.W.I.F.T. enabled vendor
products.
Market Infrastructures
The financial industry of today is considerably more complex than five
or ten years ago. In an increasingly competitive environment our
customers continually need to look at ways to manage and reduce risk,
to control costs, and conduct their back office operations more
efficiently. Market-wide efficiencies in risk management and STP will
require market players to directly or indirectly to participate in treasury
market infrastructures.
The March 1996 BIS report and subsequent progress reports on FX
settlement risk have helped to spur the industry to create and build the
CLS system. The momentum generated by this initiative is continuing to
build into more sophisticated systems for the non-direct market
participants (third parties).

Another BIS report, the September 1998 report on settlement risk in the
OTC derivative markets, also helped to push market makers toward
automation and drove support for central clearing initiatives like London
Clearing Houses SwapClear. S.W.I.F.T.s messaging and matching
services are the gateway into the SwapClears system.
At the industry level, infrastructure projects will continue to develop,
connecting groups of financial institutions together to achieve more
sophisticated operational tasks. Consensus through market best practices
and critical mass are key to the success of these industry infrastructures.
S.W.I.F.T. will work with the industry in support of these initiatives by
applying nearly a quarter of a century's experience in automation.

Traffic evolution in S.W.I.F.T.s
Category 3 messages
CATEGORY 3 MESSAGE EVOLUTION
In the last five years, S.W.I.F.T.s Category 3 message traffic has grown
by more than 36 percent. This increase represents about 25 millions
messages.
In 1999 over 97 million foreign exchange, money markets and
derivatives messages in category 3 were exchanged over the S.W.I.F.T.
network. This volume represents almost 10 percent of the total traffic
volume.
The usual steady growth pattern in the category 3 traffic changed
dramatically in 1999 as the global performance of the treasury messages
traffic was down 18 percent compared to the 1998 figures. S.W.I.F.T.
traffic was substantially impacted by major market changes in the same
period: mergers in the banking community led to fewer players,
introduction of euro reduced the number of currencies traded, structural
concentration of FX trading business.
While the market value of traded currencies has stayed at the peak level
of approx.USD 1.5 trillion/day the value of single deals has become
larger and the number of transactions lower. Another contributing factor
is that the expected shift to trading in emerging currencies has not yet
materialised.

MESSAGE USE PER MARKET:
FOREIGN EXCHANGE, MONEY MARKETS AND DERIVATIVES
According to BIS the global average daily foreign exchange trading in
spot, outright forward and FX swaps has been estimated at
USD 1.5 trillion*, this is a progress of 26 percent from 1995 to 1998. In
the same time period, the traffic of FX confirmations exchanged over the
S.W.I.F.T. network grew by 38 percent. Today over 80 percent of all
interbank FX deals are confirmed with a S.W.I.F.T. message.
In 1999, the FX traffic trend turned down and was 18 percent below the
volume of 1998. The money market messages followed the same trend
with a decrease of 19 percent versus 1998.
The daily turnover of the OTC derivatives market reached in April 1998
USD 362 billions*, growing 83 percent from April 1995. During the
same period the S.W.I.F.T. derivatives message volume grew by
62 percent compared to 1995.
In 1999 the growth of the currency options confirmations reached
5 percent compared to 1998. For the IRS traffic, we saw an increase of
105 percent. Again, following the market trend, the traffic of FRAs has
shown a negative trend of -16 percent.

GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION FOR CATEGORY 3MESSAGES
Foreign Exchange
GB with London is the worlds leading centre for foreign exchange,
representing around 32 percent of the global market. Londons
contribution in terms of sent and received messages across S.W.I.F.T.
is also significant, reflecting the importance of this market.
In 1999 the following five countries contributed for two thirds of
S.W.I.F.T.s foreign exchange confirmation traffic: GB, US, Singapore,
Switzerland and Hong Kong. The role southern Europe in the treasury
market trading has clearly declined in the last years as the concentration
has driven the business into fewer trading places.
Money Markets
The seven biggest users of Loans and Deposits messages are on the other
hand concentrated in Europe, contributing for 57 percent of the total
traffic for money market transactions. These countries include GB,
Switzerland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and France.
Derivatives
In terms of Forward Rate Agreements, again GB ranks as the largest
user accounting for 34 percent. Denmark, Norway and US are the next
largest users with 32 percent of S.W.I.F.T.s business. For the Interest
Rate Swap market, GB and US account for the two thirds of the traffic in
1999. Belgium, France and Japan follow in the ranking. The major part
of the increase is generated by GB and US, the IRS traffic in these two
market was multiplied by three between 1998 and 1999.
The confirmations of currency option deals has progressed 5 percent.
This traffic is dominated by the US users followed by GB and
Switzerland. These three countries account for 70 percent of the
currency option traffic. In the top 10 countries, the best performance
comes from Hong Kong with 41 percent of growth and US 22 percent.

Players and Connectivity
Before you can establish the ground rules for straight-through processing
you need to have a link to all the counterparties with whom you deal. To
enable this, S.W.I.F.T. has expanded its network to give you truly 'global
connectivity' . There are the banks and financial institutions; in excess of
6,700 of them in more than 184 countries linked to S.W.I.F.T. Since
June 1999 there are two new categories of participants on the network:
the corporate or non-financial institution Treasury Counterparties and
Treasury ETC Service Providers.
The category of participant Treasury Counterparty extends the service
of electronic confirmations to corporate and non-bank financial entities
active in the treasury markets for foreign exchange, money markets and
derivatives. Large corporates will now be able to confirm their own
trades directly with financial institutions connected to S.W.I.F.T.
The category of participant Treasury ETC Service Providers will
enable all other Treasury counterparties to confirm trades indirectly over
S.W.I.F.T. in a standard and secure mode through a Treasury ETC
service provider.

Corporate and non-bank financial entities joining S.W.I.F.T. in one of
these categories will now be able to exchange electronic treasury
confirmations with their bank counterparties over the S.W.I.F.T.
network. This addresses regulatory concerns about unconfirmed deals or
deals confirmed in a non-automated format in the non-interbank market,
a growing part of professional foreign exchange dealing.
This means you can automate your trades and transactions from start to
finish a more reliable and cost-effective alternative to telex or fax.
S.W.I.F.T. now connects banks and money brokers, corporate treasury
counterparties and treasury ETC-providers, securities broker-dealers
and investment management institutions, clearing institutions and
depositories, recognised exchanges, trust and fiduciary service
companies, and subsidiary providers of custody and nominees all the
players in the chain that you need to do business with.

Heading for
Straight-Through Processing
In the quest for end-to-end processing you not only need to use
standards, you need to ensure that the correct data is included in the
messages. S.W.I.F.T.'s expanding range of cross-market electronic
directories will provide you with accurate, up-to-date information in a
secure and authenticated environment.
Moreover, these services will use a common infrastructure (a common
message type, common workstation application and a central server at
S.W.I.F.T.). This means you will be able to maximise the return on your
initial investment and add services in the future with relative ease.
For the foreign exchange, money markets and derivatives market,
S.W.I.F.T. launched in July 1997 the standing settlements instructions
(SSI) directory which will enable you to exchange authenticated and
structured SSIs. This will in turn increase your matching rate and reduce
the possibility of incorrect payments.

Standing Settlement Instructions/
Foreign Exchange Directory
(SSI/FX Directory)
Overview
Information plays a key role in helping financial institutions to increase
automation and reduce costs. That is why S.W.I.F.T. has developed a
range of directories and operational information services. These services
will give institutions the necessary information to support financial
transactions and provide better guarantees to their end customers. By
increasing straight-through processing, institutions will be able to reduce
risk and save costs.
The SSI/FX Directory allows its subscribers to exchange Standing
Settlement Instructions (SSI) related to Foreign Exchange Money
Market and Derivatives Trades in an authenticated and processable
format with their counterparties.
SSI/FX Directory Service
S.W.I.F.T.'s SSI/FX Directory service addresses the problems
institutions currently experience when communicating SSI's and their
updates. The S.W.I.F.T. Broadcast is not authenticated and has too wide
a distribution for disseminating SSIs, while other means (like sending
the instructions by post) cannot be used effectively to inform all
counterparties. Manual processing of these unstructured and ambiguous
updates is labour intensive and often prone to errors. With the new
service, subscribers can exchange SSIs in a cost effective, authenticated
and processable format with all their S.W.I.F.T. counterparties.
33
One message informs all counterparties
Subscribers do not need to organise time consuming and expensive
mailings to advise their counterparties. The service can forward SSIs to
all their S.W.I.F.T. counterparties, including non-Subscribers.
Subscribers can monitor the forwarding and maintain a delivery status.
Authenticated dissemination
The service will forward authenticated messages to Subscribers and
forward non-authenticated messages to non-Subscribers. Subscribers
only need to exchange one authenticator key with S.W.I.F.T. to be able
to forward authenticated messages to all other Subscribers. Subscribers
can also request a direct acknowledgement from non-Subscribers.
Update SSIs automatically
Subscribers can save time and money currently spent on manual
processing and re-keying errors by interfacing SSIs received directly
into their internal applications.
Accurate SSIs
Because the Central Database holds accurate and up-to-date SSIs,
Subscribers will be able to increase their matching rates and reduce the
possibility of incorrect payments.
Euro Edge
Subscribers can use the service to easily and quickly change their
clearing relationship when the euro currency replaces several other
European currencies.
The benefits
34
Off-the-shelf solution
Subscribers that use the optional Directory Services Application (DSA)
have a complete and ready made solution to exchange and manage SSIs.
The DSA's import and export facility enables them to use the Service
quickly without having to substantially modify their internal
applications. Subscribers can also use the DSA to maintain SSIs not
directly received via the Service.
35
Informing Counterparties of SSIs
Subscribers can inform their counterparties of SSIs and SSI updates.
A Subscriber can send an SSI Update in an MT 293 to the Central
Database. The Central Database then forwards the SSI Update to the
designated S.W.I.F.T. Users, in an MT 293 to other Subscribers and in a
textual MT 999 to non-Subscribers. The Subscriber can monitor the
forwarding.
Receiving SSIs from other Subscribers
Subscribers can receive SSIs from other Subscribers and apply them
automatically to internal applications or databases. Subscribers can
optionally restrict SSIs being forwarded to them.
Display, Search, Sort and Print Information
Subscribers will be able to display, search, sort and print information
stored on the Directory Services Application (DSA). The use of DSA is
optional.
Query and Answer
Subscribers can query the Central Database to retrieve SSIs.
Validate Information and Keep SSIs up to date
The Workstation and the Central Database perform validations and keep
SSIs stored up to date according to their effective date.
Provide a Secure Environment
The Service provides a secure environment.

The Partner Solutions department is responsible for establishing and
maintaining business relationship at all levels between S.W.I.F.T. and
external partner vendors.
One of the principle aims of Partner Solutions is to improve
communication and the sharing of information between S.W.I.F.T. and
providers of applications and services for the Treasury industry.
Partner Solutions seek to help our members to achieve end-to-end
automation, by enabling vendor applications, which are cost-effective
and easier to implement, focussing on SWIFT-readiness, traffic
automation and STP.
In the Treasury market we have identified over 100 vendors that supply
applications that are, or should be, able to send and process S.W.I.F.T.
messages. Partner Solutions will seek to work with all such vendors
within the framework of our established Programs and Projects, as
described in this section.
On page 51 you will find a list of Treasury application providers sorted
by market segment.
Partner Solutions
42
In 1997, we performed a detailed analysis of our third-party vendors and
the services they provide. As a result, we established our 'Partner
Solutions' programme, which helps customers implement S.W.I.F.T.
standards, products and services. We motivate and assist our partners to
develop SWIFTenabled and easy-to-implement solutions that increase
our customers' straight-through processing rate and reduce their
operational risk.
As part of the 'Partner Solutions' programme we introduced an
accreditation process which applies an objective criteria and assessment
of applications, so that the vendor, our partner, is in a much better
position to assess the type of solution needed in his customers
S.W.I.F.T. environment.
With the 'SWIFTReady' accreditation we measure the compatibility of
vendor products and services with S.W.I.F.T. solutions. We then form
bilateral agreements with partners and assign 'SWIFTReady' Gold and
Silver labels depending on their level of compatibility.
The Label process helps direct the development of applications to better
support S.W.I.F.T. message types, the industry strategy for STP and
integration throughout the financial transaction chain. The criteria have
been fully researched, go to a level of very fine detail, and are updated
each year. They are public domain and are fully described in the Partner
Solutions CD-ROM, Partnering with S.W.I.F.T. The Partner Solutions
Programme.
Those applications that satisfy these criteria, and who have a minimum
of five installed users, would be eligible for a SWIFTReady Gold or
Silver Label. The Label is granted for one year only and is then renewed
based on new product releases and support for any changes in the related
SWIFT message standards and services.
SWIFTReady Label Programme
43
This will help ensure that products are available that support S.W.I.F.T.
message standards and evolve with changing business needs of the
S.W.I.F.T. community. S.W.I.F.T. will work closely with selected
vendors who commit to:
Promote S.W.I.F.T. network traffic, services and products.
Allow S.W.I.F.T. access to customer sites to validate their product.
Pro-actively work with S.W.I.F.T. to satisfying customer needs.
Give proof of S.W.I.F.T. enabled functionality and customer
satisfaction.
Implement new/modified S.W.I.F.T. MTs, services, and products
relevant to the application.
As to date, June 1999, we have granted labels to the following treasury
related products in the categories of Derivatives, Multi-Market,
Electronic Banking, Middleware and Reconciliation. (See table on
next page.)
For the latest list please contact your local Partner Solutions
representative. All vendors are welcome to apply for the label validation
process. This requires completion of a questionnaire, a minimum of five
installed sites, validation of criteria satisfied and customer reference
follow-up.

S.W.I.F.T. Facilities Programme
In parallel to the Label processes, and available to all vendors, are the
facilitation services provided by Partner Solutions to help third party
applications become more SWIFTenabled. To this end S.W.I.F.T.
provides access to User Handbooks, training, software, consultancy
assistance and even a dedicated support resource.
The partner and S.W.I.F.T. need to offer a total solution, one thats well
integrated, well validated, and that caters for specific customer needs for
S.W.I.F.T message processing. Together we can build the solutions our
customers require. We see vendor solutions as an essential part of the
'total' solution that customers need to achieve end-to-end and straight-
through processing, and to reduce the cost and risk of processing
transactions in a S.W.I.F.T. environment.

Matching and Netting Products
With clean data you can maximise the potential of further computer
operated services to save you time, cut costs and reduce risk. When a
foreign exchange, money market or derivatives deal is struck between
two counterparties, both parties confirm by sending the appropriate MT
3xx via S.W.I.F.T. If at least one of them subscribes to our Accord
TM
service then S.W.I.F.T. will automatically copy both confirmations to its
central matching system. Accord will check that the trade confirmations
correspond, i.e. match, in terms of certain fields in the confirmation
message.
On AccordWorkstation, messages that do not match, or nearly match,
are highlighted in a user-friendly way. In addition, AccordWorkstation
acts as a digital assistant to the staff in the back-office in charge of
exception handling.

You can also use Accord to bilaterally net the settlements related to
foreign exchange deals with your counterparties, thereby reducing your
payment costs and capital adequacy requirements. Not only is it a
reliable solution, but it gives you flexibility in reporting options, and
number of counterparties. The benefits of bilateral netting have obtained
widespread recognition: central banks are pressing financial institutions
to find ways to reduce their FX settlement risk, and their
recommendations include private sector netting solutions like Accord.
63
Accord overview
Foreign exchange, money markets and OTC derivatives deals are often
made during peak surges in activity, when the pressure is high,
international lines may not be at their clearest, and where language
differences can stand in the way of communication clarity. A single
inverted figure, a misplaced decimal point or a misunderstood date can
put a deal at risk.
Of course, each telephone deal is normally followed up by a formal
confirmation. But matching confirmations manually demands meticulous
paperwork to ensure perfect agreement. Even then, the routine nature of
this task still means errors can creep through.
What you require is a system which automatically and instantly
highlights potential contradictions, monitors the status of deals, and
provides a fundamental measure of exposure. Accord provides a fail-safe
system for matching confirmations of foreign exchange and money market
d e a l s .
An Accord subscriber can benefit from the confirmation matching
service independently of whether their counterparties subscribe to the
service. Also, a subscriber has the choice of selecting only the matching,
matching for some transactions, or match only those that are to be netted.
The benefits
Reduced risk
The usage of reliable matching system helps you avoid late or wrong
payments, and related risks of interest charges and penalties. Accord has
proved so reliable that S.W.I.F.T. accepts responsibility/liability for any
matching errors that occur when the confirmations are carried on the
S.W.I.F.T. network. If you subscribe to our netting service, and a legally
enforceable bilateral contract exists, both you and your counterparty can
benefit from reduced risk in settlement, liquidity and credit.
64
Reduced cost, increased capacity
By automating your back office, you can increase your efficiency and
profitability with faster, more accurate processing. Accord automatically
validates and reconciles contracts, making peak days as manageable for
your back-office as any average day of trading. Accord netting means
you can reduce your payment and operational costs, and the volume of
work your treasury office undertakes in settling payments. In the same
way payment netting can reduce your nostro costs.
Lower capital adequacy requirements
Accord netting allows you to handle the increase in trading activity,
without being constrained by large capital adequacy requirements.
Up-to-date management information
Accord gives you an exact position on the status of your deals, with up-
to-date information. This knowledge enables you to enjoy better
management and control of your operation.
Very low hardware and software investments and/or maintenance
costs
The AccordWorkstation software is supplied free of charge to all Accord
Subscribers; all it requires is a Windows NT PC.
The following pages describe how the service works. There is also a list
of current subscribers for your information.
65
Accord Matching Service
Over the last few years, the volumes of forex trading, and the complexity
of most derivatives confirmations have increased significantly. It has
become essential for treasury back-offices to use automatic confirmation
matching and exception handling systems.
When it comes to choosing a matching system, youll want to choose one
that is as reliable as the S.W.I.F.T. network you use to exchange
confirmations. S.W.I.F.T. offers you Accord, the fail-safe matching and
exception handling solution for foreign exchange, money market and
derivatives confirmations.

How does Accord work?
The Accord central matching system resides in the S.W.I.F.T. network.
When both parties to a foreign exchange, money market or derivatives
deal confirm via S.W.I.F.T., Accord can match confirmations real-
time. The results of the matching process are sent to your local
AccordWorkstation. You can determine both the contents and the timing
of your matching reports, in terms of counterparty, deal time and
currency.
To use Accord, all you have to do is connect your existing S.W.I.F.T.
interface to one or more standard Windows NT

PCs, on which you run


AccordWorkstation a user-friendly, pro-active digital assistant for all
your exception handling work.

User-friendly access to your matching results
AccordWorkstation runs on any standard Windows NT

PC. It receives
all the reporting sent to you by Accord via its connection with your
S.W.I.F.T. interface, and stores this information in a local database.
Through its user-friendly graphical user interface, and its powerful
search and sort facilities, AccordWorkstation provides a constant,
updated view of your matching results. The underlying database can also
be consulted by any back-office application using standard database
connectivity tools.
Flexibility
AccordWorkstation is more than a reservoir of matching results. It
contains a complete set of tools to assist you in the exception handling
process.
For mis-matched confirmations eg, when the fields causing the mis-
match are highlighted, you can 'force' a match with just a few mouse
clicks. You can also customise your matching rules, using the mis-
match, to teach Accord to report similar mis-matches as matches.
It is also simple to tag an item to inform a colleague that a new,
corrected confirmation needs to be sent, or to ask your counterparty to
correct their confirmation. All you have to do is point at the type of
chaser message you want to send, and AccordWorkstation will take
care of expanding the corresponding template with all the relevant data,
so that your counterparty can correct their confirmation.
AccordWorkstation allows you to prioritise urgent items. You can
specify the kind of mis-matches and/or hand matches that should be
given absolute priority and once these are defined, AccordWorkstation
will constantly search for them. When such an urgent item is found, an
alarm message appears on the screen, and a special marker is attached to
the item in question.
Queries (chaser messages) exchanged between Accord subscribers do
not only end up on the printer in the Treasury back-office, but appear
directly on your screen, attached to the problem in hand.
68
Increase efficiency -
A single window on all your treasury deals
Accord can match all treasury instruments, which means you can choose
a single matching system for your treasury needs far more cost-
effective than having several. You can save on training costs,
maintenance and internal support costs of using multiple disparate
matching solutions. In this respect Accord is unique, as it allows you
to have a single window on all your treasury deals, independent of:
Counterparty: Accord does not require your counterparties to be
Accord subscribers as well; it can handle all your confirmations
sent and received over the S.W.I.F.T. network. Accord also has
special tools that can handle deals where the S.W.I.F.T.
confirmations you send correspond to a letter, fax, or telex.
The settlement method: bilaterally netted, gross, CLS, or
SwapClear
Financial instrument: Accord matches confirmations for foreign
exchange, money market, and derivatives deals:
- MT 300 Foreign exchange confirmation
- MT 305 Foreign currency option
- MT 320 Fixed loan/deposit confirmation
- MT 324 Liquidation notice for fixed loan or deposit
- MT 330 Call/notice loan/deposit confirmation
- MT 340 Forward rate agreement confirmation
- MT 341 Forward rate agreement settlement confirmation
- MT 360 Single currency interest rate swap confirmation
- MT 361 Cross currency interest rate swap confirmation
- MT 362 Interest rate swap reset
- MT 392 Request for cancellation
69
Reliability
If you subscribe to Accord, you can significantly reduce your
operational risk, as you can rely on a central matching system with near
100 percent uptime, and matching results that are guaranteed. In fact, the
matching results obtained by Accord have proved to be so reliable that
S.W.I.F.T. accepts financial liability for all matches it reports to its
Accord subscribers. Accord safeguards all your confirmations and
maintains a historical trace of their matching results until seven days
after maturity. It has also been designed to seamlessly handle the highest
of traffic volumes. Any possibilities for fraud are virtually eliminated by
using a central matching system operated by a neutral party.
Increase straight-through processing (STP)
Accord gives you exactly what you need to feed matching results
directly into other applications for further processing, thus increasing
STP. It has sophisticated tools that incrementally increase your
automatic matching rate and provide perfectly reliable matching results.
Cost effective
Accords total cost of ownership compares very favourably to any
local matching system. Because Accord is centrally managed by
S.W.I.F.T., you can save on the resources you would otherwise need to
keep a local matching engine operational, maintain message standards
changes within that application and provide the support it would require
internally. With Accord, you have a remotely deployed fall-back
solution in case there is a serious problem with the machine, the
software, or with the building where it is deployed.
For more information on the Accord Matching service, please contact
your local sales office listed in the inside front cover.

Accord Netting Service
If you conduct multiple deals with one counterparty, you may run the
risk of carrying a high level of exposure on your books at the end of each
trading day. When your trading activity grows, you may run the risk of
equally increased capital adequacy requirements. Netting is a natural
solution for such problems. If the way you currently net implies a daily
manual reconciliation of a few net balances (or even matching results)
for each of your netting counterparties, the operational costs and the
costs associated with possible operational risk and delays in payments
may be eroding your profit margins. S.W.I.F.T. offers you Accord
Netting, the fail-safe matching and netting solution for foreign exchange
transactions.
How does Accord Netting work?
The Accord netting service is based on the Accord central matching
system. When two parties agree to net on a bilateral basis using Accord
Netting, both parties to a foreign exchange deal confirm via S.W.I.F.T.,
and Accord matches confirmation to be netted in real-time. The results
of the matching process are sent to your local AccordWorkstation. You
can determine both the contents and the timing of of your matching
reports, in terms of counterparty, deal time and currency. At a pre-agreed
cutoff time (per currency), Accord calculates the net balances and
identical netting reports are then sent to each of the parties involved.
These reports include:
MT 970 - Netting statement
MT 971 - Netting Balance Report
MT 972 - Netting Interim Statement

Reduce payment and operational costs
By netting all the deals you make with one counterparty for a given
value date, only one payment is required for that same counterparty.
This enables you to reduce the volume of work in your treasury office in
settling payments. Payment netting also reduces your nostro costs. When
you net your payments, you only need to send or receive one payment to
a specific counterparty for each currency, instead of one for each trade
you make with them. As a result, you only have one debit/credit posted
to your nostro account, thus reducing your reconciliation costs.
Reduce counterparty risk
Accord Netting also supports netting by novation provided that the
proper legal documents have been exchanged between the counterparties
and that they have rigorously established their operational reporting
procedures. When netting by novation, the actual contracts are
aggregated, not just the settlements. Consequently your legal obligation
to your counterparty changes when you enter into a deal together. For
example, instead of being obligated for 10 separate contracts at the end
of the dealing day, you are legally obligated for only one 'novated'
contract.
Reduce capital adequacy requirements
The Basle Capital Agreement provides a formula for reducing capital
requirements for counterparties who have in place legally enforceable
netting contracts. These reductions in capital requirements for netted
transactions mean substantial cost savings for any financial institution.
They can also have a favourable impact on trading limits as well as
balance sheet management.
72
Accord Netting
To fully benefit from netting, it is necessary that both counterparties
receive identical netting information from a single, reliable source that is
guaranteed. Accord's Bilateral Netting service offers a reliable source
of netting information for all your foreign exchange deals. S.W.I.F.T.
takes financial liability for the accuracy and completeness of all
Accord netting reports, so that you can rely on them as input for
further automatic processing, thus reducing operational risk and
increasing STP. If you subscribe to S.W.I.F.T.s Accord Bilateral
Netting service, you can confirm, match, net, and settle your deals, using
one single supplier that takes financial liability for all subsequent stages
of the value chain
.

S.W.I.F.T.s global connectivity, message standards, electronic data
dictionaries and matching and netting services will help you improve
your operational efficiency. But sometimes a concerted industry
initiative is required to address issues that can only be tackled at a
market level.
One such example is the infrastructure created by the industry to
eliminate the settlement risk which can occur when foreign exchange
trades are settled. In 1995, a group of 20 large foreign exchange trading
banks (the G20) got together to consider how the private sector might
develop a solution to the problem of settlement risk. The result of this
study was the Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS) concept.

In July 1997 the G20 banks formed a company, CLS Services Ltd
(CLSS), to develop and build the CLS System. In December 1997,
CLSS acquired the share capital of ECHO and Multinet International
Bank (MIB) to create a single industry facility for reducing settlement
and pre-settlement risk in the foreign currency markets. A separate
company, the CLS Bank, will be formed to provide the CLS service.
Following the recent recapitalisation of the company, CLSS now has 60
shareholder institutions from 14 countries.
S.W.I.F.T. supports CLSS by providing key components of the
infrastructure used by CLSS to deliver a set of integrated services which
enable foreign exchange settlement risk reduction.
91
CLS Bank will provide payment-versus-payment settlement for foreign
exchange transactions. Elimination of settlement risk is achieved by
simultaneously settling the two currency legs of a transaction across the
books of the CLS Bank. Both sides of the transaction are settled, or
neither side is settled.
S.W.I.F.T. will provide the CLS Member Network, using its current FIN
messaging service and its new interactive communication service,
SWIFTNet InterAct. CLS Members can input transactions using the
standard S.W.I.F.T. MT 300 message, which is copied to CLS Bank for
settlement. Optionally, they will be able to use the Accord Matching
service for matching confirmations prior to submission to CLS Bank.
Real-time operational information will be provided by CLS Bank via
S.W.I.F.T.'s new highly secure and extremely reliable worldwide private
IP network.

In addition to settling foreign exchange deals conducted between CLS
Members, CLS Bank will settle deals involving non-CLS Members, that
is, third parties. Third parties will need to submit their foreign exchange
transactions to the CLS Member they use for settlement (which will in
turn process these transactions and input them in CLS if it accepts to
settle them).
S.W.I.F.T. will offer messaging and matching services to support this
communication flow. In addition, S.W.I.F.T. can support the flow of
operational information back to the third party via FIN, or via the
SWIFTNet InterAct service.

London Clearing Houses SwapClear
The London Clearing House launched their SwapClear service during
the second half of 1999.
SwapClear will offer the inter-bank swap market a range of services
which aim to increase trading opportunities by reducing credit lines,
regulatory capital requirements and operating costs thereby increasing
return on investment. This cost-effective, centralised clearing facility for
the plain vanilla swaps market will use S.W.I.F.T. confirmation
messages and Accord as the central matching gateway into the clearing
service.

the SwapClear members, as well as being forwarded to SwapClear for
further processing and clearing. LCH acts as the central counter-party to
each trade.

Standards
There is little point in providing you with links to markets and players if
we are not providing you with the means to communicate clearly and
succinctly with any one of your business partners anywhere in the world.
This is where standards come in.
S.W.I.F.T. is at the forefront of standards development. Because our
messages are ISO standard (International Standardization Organization),
they are universally accepted, cutting across language barriers.
As you will find in this binder, we have a comprehensive range of
standards to support foreign exchange, money markets and over the
counter (OTC) derivatives.

New developments:
Collateral Management Messages
The financial industry is currently focused on the management of many
types of risk. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, is often used as
guarantee for financial transactions to mitigate risk between
counterparties.
The need for collateral between parties can arise from various types of
transactions:
Foreign exchange, money markets and derivatives transactions.
Securities transactions - including securities lending and repurchase
agreements.
Payment support and RTGS related needs such as in the case of
TARGET.
In order to guarantee trades or counterparty credit limits, the financial
industry has developed specific schemes or contracts to set the
framework for pledging collateral. Recent examples include
developments by ISDA for derivatives and ISMA for repurchase
agreements.
In addition, the actual management of collateral, whether cash or
securities, requires that collateral be pledged, evaluated and marked-to-
market in order to evaluate the represented guarantee. Custodian banks
and central depositories are the key players in these activities. Finally,
collateral will have to be settled via payments for cash or securities
settlement.
In order to address this range of issues, the S.W.I.F.T. Standards
Collateral Management Working Group has been organised to cover all
roles of the collateral chain including the Securities, Payments and
Treasury markets and includes representation from all major countries
and professional organisations.
100
The new messages cover the following:
Message flows
Request for collateral and answer to the request
Proposal of collateral and answer to proposal
Mark to market report for both the collateral and the underlying
transactions
Collateralised products
Derivatives trading and foreign exchange
Payments/settlements
Credit line support
Repurchase agreements
Securities lending and borrowing
Tri-party deals
Cross-product

Other bank guarantees.
The implementation of collateral messages is planned as part of the

MT305 Foreign Currency Option Confirmation
Narrative
A German exporter is expecting to receive USD 100,000 in mid-March
1992. At the time when it decides to hedge the transaction, on 26
November 1991, the spot rate is 0.5795 DEM/USD. Due to the
uncertainty relative to the rate in the future, the exporter decides to
hedge the transaction to secure the future DEM amount. Feeling that the
price of the dollar might go down, the German exporter decides to buy a
put option (ie, acquires the right, but not the obligation to sell USD
against DEM at a predetermined price).
The German exporter buys, on 26 November 1991, a USD 100,000 OTC
(over-the-counter) put option from Dresdner Bank, Frankfurt, at a strike
price of 0.5905 expiring on 16 March 1992 at 4.00 p.m.
In turn, to hedge its now open option position, Dresdner Bank,
Frankfurt, buys on the same day a DEM/USD put from Citibank, New
York, for the same underlying amount of USD 100,000. In this way,
Dresdner Bank, Frankfurt, limits the profits or losses to the purchase
price of the option. The premium price of the DEM/USD put purchased
by Dresdner Bank, Frankfurt, is equal to 2.25 percent of the underlying
currency and amount. The deal expiring on 16 March 1992 has a strike
price of 0.5897.

MT306Exotic Option Confirmation
Note
The MT 306 supports and number of structured features which lead to an
option contract being defined as exotic. Other types of exotic option
that are included within the scope of the MT 306 include:
Various exercise styles American, European, Bermudan
Binary options
Digital options
Notouch options
All of the above types can have single or double barriers features which
can knock-in a contract into existence or on the contrary knock-out a
contract out of existence. Additionally, all options can be deliverable,
where principal currency amounts are exchanged upon exercise or non-
deliverable where the difference between spot and strike prices are
calculated and one netted payment is effected.
In order to illustrate the use of the message, we have used the most
common exotic structure a single barrier with a knock-in feature.
Narrative
On 7 December 1999, UBS Warburg Dillon Read, London, purchases a
USD call option with a single knock-in barrier from Chase NY. The
expiration style is European. The contract amount is for 1,000,000 USD
against a put currency of EUR. The strike price is 0.98 and the option
will expire on 1 March, 2000.
The option contract will be knocked in or triggered into existence only
if a barrier price of 0.97 has occurred. The confirmation will be made in
accordance with a signed ISDA Master Agreement between the two
parties and ISDA definitions will be applicable.

Precious Metals Trading
and Syndication
Category 6 messages provide standards for two purposes, precious
metals trading and syndications.
Within the precious metals section, financial institutions can confirm the
details of trades or options contracts for precious metals. Additionally,
messages are available to instruct delivery or receipt of a specified
quantity of precious metal, and also to advise the debit or credit to the
appropriate metals account. A statement of account is available, as is a
statement of open contracts. Only the Precious Metal Transfer/Delivery
Order ( MT604 ) requires authentication. In addition to precious metals,
these messages can also be used for coins in gold and other metals.
Syndication messages deal with the drawdown/renewal of a facility,
setting the interest/exchange rate of a facility and the payment of
principal, interest and/or fees due on a syndication. All syndication
messages are authenticated.
For full details, see Category 6 Standards User Handbook.

General Narrative
The renewal of the two drawings maturing 28 February 1993, was
requested by the Borrower, New Horizons Mining Corp, Sydney. One of
the drawings will be renewed in the same currency, which is different
from the base currency, the other one will be switched to another
currency, also different from the base currency of the Facility.
Drawing DS01 for GBP 20,000,000, will be renewed in USDs (DS03)
for an additional interest period of one year (from 28 February 1993, to
28 February 1994). Deutsche Bank's participation will be the equivalent
in US Dollars of GBP 2,400,000.
Drawing DS02 for GBP 20,000,000, previously withdrawn in US
Dollars, will be renewed in USDs (DS04) for an additional interest
period of three months (from 28 February 1993, to 29 May 1993).
Deutsche Bank's participation will be the equivalent in US Dollars of
GBP 2,400,000.
Interest and exchange rates will be fixed on 19 February 1993. The
details regarding the USD participation amounts will then be
communicated to Deutsche Bank, London.
Since one of the drawings previously denominated in GBP is being
renewed in USD, Deutsche Bank will be repaid for its GBP (2,400,000)
participation, plus the accrued interest (GBP 130,500 less additional
costs of GBP 1,140.41). The resulting amount will be credited to
Deutsche Bank's account with Hambros Bank, London.
321
The USD interest amount due to Deutsche Bank on 28 February 1993,
on its USD participation in the first drawdown, will be offset against the
increase in Deutsche Bank's participation in the renewal of the first
drawing, and its USD participation due to the currency switch of the
second drawing. As February 28, 1993, is a Saturday, the net amount
will be paid, value 2 March 1993, to Hambros Bank's account number
1988 with Chase Manhattan Bank, New York. The details of the
amounts due will be provided to Deutsche Bank, together with the rates,
on 19 February.
