Allowed countervalue difference
A maximum difference in countervalue of NZD 50 is allowed for the matching and settlement of against payment transactions with domestic counterparties. In the case of a discrepancy, the seller’s amount will prevail.
Back-to-back processing
Back-to-back processing is available for transactions in all dematerialised securities eligible in this market. If both the client and the domestic counterparty meet their settlement obligations and fulfil the market's back-to-back requirements within the relevant deadlines, the linked receipt and the linked delivery will settle with same-day value. To benefit from this functionality, clients must ensure that their back-to-back instructions are formatted as described below:
Connectivity medium | Pool ID format | Field(s) to be used |
CFC via Swift and Xact File Transfer | :POOL//16xa | Field :20C: subsequence A1 Field :22F: sequence E |
a. The reference (16x) must neither start nor end with a single slash ‘/’ nor must it contain two consecutive slashes ‘//’.
Management of failed instructions
Instructions for receipts from domestic counterparties that have not settled by the tenth attempted settlement day will be cancelled.
Instructions for deliveries to domestic counterparties that have not settled by the fifth attempted settlement day will be cancelled and the securities re-credited to the customer’s account on that day (first attempted SD+5).
New issues settlement
Clients who successfully tender for a new equity must instruct their agent to deliver the securities to CFCL's account with BNP. No special information is required other than the normal settlement receipt instruction; regular instruction deadlines apply.
