Finally, a daily margin call system is in place to offset the mark-to-market variations of securities. i) Data on the reuse of collateral AIFs are not subject to any regulatory restrictions, whatever the nature of the collateral (i.e. maximum amount = 100% in theory). For transactions conducted by NAM Finance, acting as an "agent" or "principal", the amounts received in respect of cash collateral on temporary sales of securities are invested in an interest-bearing deposit account.

    High-Quality Service is Key Differentiator for European Banks 2018 Greenwich Leaders: European Large Corporate Banking and Cash Management Q1 2018 After weathering the chaos of the financial crisis and the subsequent restructuring of the European banking industry, Europe’s largest companies are enjoying a welcome phase of stability in their banking relationships. Credit is abundant (at least for big companies with good credit ratings), service is good and getting better, and banks are getting easier to work with. Aside from European corporates, the primary beneficiaries of this new stability are the big banks that already count many of Europe’s largest companies as clients. At the top of that list sits BNP Paribas, which is used for corporate banking by 65% of Europe’s largest companies. HSBC is next at 56%, followed by Deutsche Bank at 43%, UniCredit at 38% and Citi at 37%. These banks are the 2018 Greenwich Share Leaders℠ in European Top-Tier Large Corporate Banking.
