Note

The use of this message type requires Message User Group (MUG) registration.

Important!

The user header of the message (block 3) is mandatory and must contain a code in the Validation Flag field 119 ( {3:{119:xxxx}} ) to identify the exposure type or collateral reason.

These codes may be used for routing purposes.

MT504 Scope

This message is sent by the collateral giver or its collateral manager to the collateral taker or its collateral manager to:

  • propose new collateral at the initiation of an exposure

  • propose additional collateral at variation of exposure

This message may or may not be sent as an answer to a collateral claim.

This message is also used by the giver to request the cancellation of a previously sent collateral proposal.

This message must not be used to initiate a substitution.

The message may also be used to:

  • re-send a message previously sent (Subfunction of the message is DUPL)

  • provide a third party with a copy of the message for information (Subfunction of the message is COPY)

  • re-send to a third party a copy of the message for information (Subfunction of the message is CODU).

MT504 Format Specifications

The collateral proposal consists of five sequences:

  • Sequence A General Information provides general information about the message and the collateral transaction, that is, the function of the message, the identification of the collateral transaction, the references of the linked messages, the identification of the underlying agreement(s), the identification of the parties, the reason for which collateral is needed (the exposure type), the identification of the collateral action and the contact information.

    Note

    More than one occurrence of the agreement is only authorised for cross-product collateralisation and when no overall master agreement is in place yet.

  • Sequence B Summary provides information related to the collateral position, that is, the identification of the exposed party, the total exposure amount, the total collateral amount held by the taker, the value of collateral to be added to or to be returned from the collateral held. The sequence contains an optional subsequence with the amounts taken into account to calculate the collateral position. These amounts are required for certain types of exposures. This subsequence also contains the valuation dates and the requested settlement date of the collateral.

  • Sequence C specifies the details of the proposed collateral. The collateral can be securities, cash or other collateral. Other collateral indicates trade instruments, that is, documentary credits and bank guarantees. This sequence may also contain the settlement details for a piece of security or cash collateral. If the settlement details for all pieces of proposed securities collateral are the same, these details are not present in this sequence, but included once in sequence D. If the settlement details for all pieces of proposed cash collateral are the same, these details are not present in this sequence, but included once in sequence E.

  • Sequence D contains the common securities settlement details, that is, the settlement details of the proposed securities when they are not included in sequence C at the level of the individual piece of collateral.

  • Sequence E contains the common cash settlement details, that is, the settlement details of the proposed cash when they are not included in sequence C at the level of the individual piece of collateral.
