Capitolis said it demonstrated the benefits that FX Smart Clearing will add to its existing standard approach to counterparty credit risk (SA-CCR) by partnering with nine banks.

James Pearson, Head of LCH ForexClear commented: “FX Smart Clearing is another tool we offer banks to improve their finances financially, unlocking capital restrictions and helping to ensure a safe and efficient financial system.”
