RepoClear Ltd offers clearing services in sterling denominated government bonds.

Products cleared include classic fixed rate repos with settlements ranging from the same day to up to one year.

Market participants can choose between being a RepoClear Member, a RepoClear Dealer or a Sponsored Member.

A RepoClear Member is an entity approved by LCH to clear transactions which it or one of its RepoClear Dealers has executed.

A RepoClear Dealer is an entity approved by LCH to clear transactions it has executed, using an approved RepoClear Member.

Sponsored Members join under a new membership category that allows buy-side firms to enjoy the full benefits of clearing through LCH. This creates a direct transactional relationship between LCH and the Sponsored Member, making LCH the counterparty to each cleared trade. Sponsored Members are supported by an Agent Member (sponsoring bank) that facilitates margin payments (as paying agent) and provides default fund contributions for each sponsored transaction.
