Eurex Exchange Readiness Newsflash | Mandatory PIN procedure for Trading on Behalf (ToB) and other inquiries went live on 3 August 2020

Eurex Exchange Readiness Newsflash

Dear Eurex Participant,

With this Newsflash we would like to inform you that, the mandatory PIN authentication procedure for Trading on Behalf (ToB) and further inquiries was successfully introduced on Monday, 3 August 2020. 

All Eurex users have now a dedicated PIN in place. The PIN either has been set by your user administrator or for those ones, that did not get any PIN assigned, a random PIN was generated by the Eurex system. 

Eurex Market Supervision is enforcing the mandatory PIN identification process as of 3 August 2020 and rejecting inquiries, if the authentication information is not provided. Eurex users must provide their PIN to Eurex Market Supervision in following cases:

  • On-exchange on-behalf entries (order add / modify / delete / mass deletion)
  • TES on-behalf entries (trade add / approve / modify / delete)
  • Stop / Release User / Business Unit inquiries

If you have any further questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact your Key Account Manager or send an e-mail to client.services@eurexchange.com.

Kind regards,

Your Client Services Team
