Background

As Clearstream Fund Centre continues to aim for full compliance with ISO 20022, changes have been made to CFS Portal.

The primary modifications involve the terminology and the new requirements specified by Swift regarding the identification of certain cash parties. These changes were incorporated in the Cash Instructions section of the Cash & Liquidity Module in CFS Portal.
