🔄 Clearing and Settlement
📚 US Capital Private Bank Knowledge Base
📖 Definition
Clearing and Settlement refer to the processes that finalize a securities transaction. Clearing involves the confirmation and matching of trade details, while settlement is the actual exchange of securities and payment between buyer and seller.
⚙️ How It Works
Once a trade is executed, clearinghouses act as intermediaries to confirm trade details, manage counterparty risk, and prepare for settlement. Settlement occurs when the buyer receives the securities and the seller receives payment, typically within a standard settlement cycle (e.g., T+2, meaning trade date plus two business days).
