Eurex Clearing Readiness Newsflash | Reminder regarding the ISV Registration & Software Management initiative 

With this newsflash, Eurex Clearing informs you about the requirements and the respective deadline of the ISV Registration & Software Management initiative.

As announced via Eurex Clearing Readiness Newsflash from 17 February 2025, Eurex Clearing launched the Software Selection app and the respective enhancements in the FIXML and FpML account creation process in the Member Section on 14 February 2025 which completed the introduction of ISV Registration & Software Management initiative.

With the introduction of this initiative, Eurex Clearing launched a new process for the registration of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and the registration and selection of software used by Eurex Clearing Members. 

The following action steps are required from ISVs within the framework of this initiative: 

1. ISVs, which offer software services to Eurex Clearing Members, are required to register their entity via the ISV Registration app available in the Member Section.
2. Following the successful entity registration, ISVs should register the software that is used by Eurex Clearing clients to connect to the FIXML and FpML interfaces via the Software Registration app. During software registration, ISVs are asked to provide certain details on the functionalities and usage of this software.
3. Finally, for the ISVs with vendor access contract (access to the simulation environment), simulation accounts should be enhanced with the software details.

Eurex Clearing Members are recommended to contact their ISVs to inform them on the new requirements of Eurex Clearing.

The following action items are required from Eurex Clearing Members within this initiative: 

1. Clearing Members, who use ISV software to connect to the FIXML and/or FpML interfaces, are required to select this software via the Software Selection app in the Member Section.
   Please note that the software available for selection in this app is the software that has been registered by ISVs via the Software Registration app in the second step. An approval task is created for the software owner upon the software selection by the Clearing Member.
2. Clearing Members, who use self-developed software to connect to the FIXML and/or FpML interfaces, are required to register this software via the Software Registration app available in the Member Section.
3. Following the successful software registration and/or selection, Clearing Members are required to enhance their new and existing FIXML and/or FpML accounts with the details of software under Technical Connection in the Member Section. The software registered or selected in the first and second steps is available for the assignment to the existing and new accounts. 

The above-mentioned steps of the ISV Registration & Software Management initiative need to be completed by 13 June 2025.

Please note that starting from 18 April 2025 the newly introduced fields in the FIXML and/or FpML account creation process will become mandatory for the creation of new accounts. In other words, it will not be possible to create a new FIXML and/or FpML account without assigning the software. Thus, Eurex Clearing encourages the Clearing Members to complete the above-mentioned steps to avoid any complications when creating a new account after 18 April 2025. 

Moreover, the Clearing Conditions of Eurex Clearing AG are planned to be updated to reflect the new requirements introduced with this initiative. The changes are envisioned to be effective as of 30 June 2025.

More information on the details of the initiative and the Software Selection User Guide are available via the following link: ISV Registration & Software Management.
