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.

MT506 Scope

This message is sent either by the collateral giver, or its collateral manager, to the collateral taker, or its collateral manager, or by the collateral taker, or its collateral manager to the collateral giver, or its collateral manager.

It is used to provide the details of the valuation of both the collateral or the exposure or both.

This message is also used by the taker or the giver to request the cancellation of a previously sent collateral and exposure statement.

This message must not be used to claim collateral but may be used in support of a claim.

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).

MT506 Format Specifications

The statement consists of four 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 and the contact information.

    Note

    More than one occurrence of the agreement is only authorised for cross-product collateralisation and when there is no overall master agreement 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 and the total collateral amount held by the taker. It also contains the valuation dates and the requested settlement date of collateral if there is a shortage of collateral. The sequence contains an optional subsequence with the amounts taken in to account to calculate the collateral position. These amounts are required for certain types of exposures.

  • Repetitive sequence C Exposure Valuation Details contains the valuation details of the exposure. The identification and the value of the trades and the other elements that constitute the total exposure are included one by one.

  • Repetitive sequence D Collateral Valuation Details contains the valuation details of the collateral held by the taker. The identification and the value of each piece of collateral are included one by one.
