EUROCLEAR Bank SA/NV (Spółka Akcyjna) - Oddział w Polsce

EUROCLEAR Bank SA/NV (Spółka Akcyjna) - Oddział w Polsce is the Polish branch of Euroclear Bank SA/NV, a Belgian credit institution and international central securities depository that delivers wholesale post-trade services to institutional clients. The branch represents the Belgian entity locally for client coverage and market liaison and does not offer retail banking or consumer accounts. Through Euroclear Bank’s infrastructure, eligible participants such as banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, central banks and market infrastructures can settle and safekeep international and domestic securities, receive asset servicing and tax processing, use triparty collateral management, securities lending and borrowing, and access fund order routing and settlement; access to Polish instruments is typically provided via links to the local central securities depository and subject to local market practices. Euroclear Bank is authorized and supervised in Belgium, including as a central securities depository under the EU Central Securities Depositories Regulation, and operates a designated securities settlement system under the EU Settlement Finality Directive; the Polish branch is registered in Poland and operates under the EU passporting framework, with applicable host-state requirements for branch activities. Participation is restricted to institutions that meet eligibility, contractual, operational and KYC/AML criteria, with connectivity via SWIFT and other supported channels, and account segregation options consistent with CSDR (omnibus and, where available, individually segregated accounts). Fees follow published tariffs covering account, settlement, safekeeping, asset servicing and network charges, while cut-off times, tax handling and market deadlines depend on the instrument and market. Concentrating post-trade activity in a single ICSD entails operational, legal and counterparty exposures to the depository and its network of sub-custodians and correspondents; institutions should review documentation, collateral eligibility, cash arrangements and service levels against their risk, liquidity and regulatory constraints. The presence of the branch in Poland does not change the governing law or core risk profile of the services, which remain anchored in the Belgian entity’s systems and rulebooks.
