    Field Description

    Bank Identification Code

    Select the BIC of the CLS party to determine the participant type. On selection of the BIC, the name of the customer is displayed.

    CLS Participant Type

    Identify a CLS party as a ‘Direct’ or an ‘Indirect’ participant. The system will use the participant type as a criterion to determine the CLS eligibility of an FX deal. The participant type is one of the following:

    • Third-Party – If the participant type is ‘Third Party’, the customer will be required to subscribe to the CLS bank via a Settlement Member. In this type, the party is indirectly associated with the CLS bank.
    • Settlement Member – In this type, the customer will be a direct CLS participant.
    • CLS Bank – This will identify the customer as the ‘CLS Bank’. The BIC for the CLS bank is maintained as ‘CLSBUS33’.

    Settlement Member

    As stated above, if the participant type is defined as Third Party, the CLS deals are processed via a settlement member. Select the BIC of the Settlement Member in this field. The name of the member is displayed.

  5. On the CLS Bank Directory Maintenance screen, click Fields.

    Associate values to all the User Defined fields created and attached to the CLS Directory screen.

    User Defined Fields screen is displayed.
