The update of matching tolerance amounts has no impact on instructions that have already been matched. The new tolerance amounts will be considered for matching starting from 23 January 2017. The current matching procedures in CASCADE continue to apply.
Starting with the migration of CBF to T2S, instructions that settle in T2S are also matched by T2S. For these transactions the CBF matching rules no longer apply and will be replaced by T2S matching rules.
Note: T2S applies two matching tolerance amounts per currency, a higher tolerance for high settlement amounts and a lower tolerance for low settlement amounts. If the allowed tolerance is exceeded, instructions remain unmatched. T2S does not report reasons why instructions remain unmatched.
Further information regarding matching rules in T2S is available, for example in the CBF Customer Handbook valid as of 6 February 2017, the DFD Domestic OTC Settlement and in the respective T2S documentation as published on the ECB website.
