Realignment Guide – Cyprus
The links between Clearstream Banking’s platforms, CASCADE and Creation, and several Central Securities Depositories (CSD) enable clients to transfer eligible securities (that is, securities accepted in CASCADE and in Creation and by the appropriate CSD) from one platform to the other, for example, from Collective Safe Custody (CSC) to Non-Collective Safe Custody (NCSC) and vice versa. These transfers, that exclude by definition any change of beneficial ownership, are referred to here as Creation-CASCADE realignments.
The realignment process is initiated by clients as follows:
- For realignment from CASCADE to Creation
- In CASCADE, by an instruction to deliver securities free of payment to the account of Clearstream Banking S.A. (Clearstream Banking Luxembourg), with the corresponding depository, in favour of the client’s account in Creation.
- In Creation, by an instruction to receive securities, free of payment, from CASCADE.
- For realignment from Creation to CASCADE
- In Creation, by an instruction to deliver securities, free of payment, to the account of Clearstream Banking AG (Clearstream Banking Frankfurt), with the corresponding CSD, in favour of the client’s account in CASCADE.
- In CASCADE, by an instruction to receive securities, free of payment, from Creation.
