Which type of institution are you?

SDBN helps regulated institutions manage and diversify their liquidity. 

Asset manager

Regulatory and Internal mandates typically limit asset managers’ risk exposures with respect to liquid cash allocation alternatives.

SDBN provides a unique diversification alternative. Its single business provides a segregated, dedicated connection with the Central Bank. SDBN remains separate from global clearing and netting systems.

In addition to its attractive risk profile, the SDBN solution is cost-effective and transparent.

SDBN helps asset managers meet redemptions efficiently and, conversely, put cash to work quickly when opportunities arise.

Setting up an account is straightforward and requires no incremental network investment.

We also provide tailored advice on liquidity management.

Clearing house

Our clearing house Clients place overnight collateral and margin reserves at the close of business each day by 18h00 CET, for automatic release the next day at 07:00 CET.
