European Commodity Clearing AG (ECC)

As the leading clearing house for commodity products in Europe, ECC assures the safety and integrity of commodity markets while providing innovation in risk management, clearing technology and client asset protection. By managing the counterparty risk, clearing by ECC reduces the systemic risk in these markets compared to OTC (over the counter) uncleared markets.

As part of EEX Group, ECC continuously supports the development of markets and builds customer networks. With emphasis on comprehensive customer service, ECC expands its presence globally with the aim to develop detailed knowledge and deep expertise in local commodity markets. As an integral part of EEX Group, ECC’s strategy focuses on supporting the strategic pathway of EEX Group to build secure, successful, and sustainable commodity markets worldwide – together with our customers.

The strategic approach of ECC is to offer customers a one-stop service so that they can benefit from standardized processes, a uniform set of contracts, cross-commodity margining, and netted financial settlement as well as a wide network of different types of participants.
