1 General Information

1.1 SaFIR functions

The Settlement and Financial Instruments Registration (SaFIR) System is designed to

manage financial instruments and provide for following main functions:

a. Maintenance of the primary register;

b. Settlement of transactions involving financial instruments;

c. Payment of the proceeds;

d. Housekeeping functions.

1.2 Participants’ connection to SaFIR

Participants are connected to SaFIR through:

a. SWIFT

b. Network RCI-IPF

Each Participant shall be connected to the SaFIR system through a single point of

entry into the system, preferably its headquarters, such that the connection between

RCI-IPF

the Participant and SaFIR is always available during the business day.

The SWIFT Alliance Access Interface provides a means for Participants to enter

securities settlement instructions for transmission via SWIFT to the SaFIR system for

processing. Please note that SWIFT Alliance Entry interfaces could also be used by

smaller users needing less automation.

2 Classification criteria

This edition of the SaFIR – SWIFT user guide provides information on the ISO 15022

securities message standards. The securities message standards discussed are:

a) Settlement and Reconciliation (S&R) messages;

b) Corporate Action (CA) messages;

c) SaFIR Broadcast Message. In order to get a complete and comprehensive view of the SWIFT standards, this

guide should be consulted in conjunction with the document "SWIFT Standards MT

November 2008 – Standards Release Guide" provided by SWIFT.

This Guide defines the relevant aspects to each area of operations performed within

SaFIR, identifies common characteristics of operational flows and establishes

relationships.

which the fund settlement confirmation is received from the correspondent bank, or no

later then the cut-off time (ADEL) specified on SWIFT instruction

4.1.3 Repo management

4.1.3.1 Repurchase agreement between two Participants

Repo is a sale and repurchase agreement between two Participants and it is

composed by two DvP operations linked together. The second DvP operations

(second leg) is automatically started by SaFIR on a specific time or date on the basis

of the previously stored data.

33

Excepting intraday Repo, a substitution function is available if it has been agreed in

the contract by the parties.

The Repo substitution will be carried out by four free of payment transfer instructions

of the new securities in exchange for the purchased securities to be replaced (a FoP

operation contingent to the other one).

The initial buyer sends a MT542 (Deliver Free) in order to return the purchased

securities and a MT540 (Receive Free).

The initial seller sends a MT542 (Deliver Free) in order to transfer the new securities

and a MT540 (Receive Free) in order to receive the purchased securities.

For long term repo, if the value of collateral decreases or increases, the participant

exposed as result of this price variation will call for a margin. If the margin agreed is a

bond (not cash), than a new FoP messages are sent. Template for this message is

described in the FoP transfer section.

In case of repo operations between a SaFIR participant who is a primary dealer, and

brokerage companies (SSIF) who settles the fund leg through the settlement account

of the primary dealer, DvP messages (MT 541 and MT 543) will be replaced by FoP

messages (MT 540 and MT 542)

4.1.3.2 Repurchase agreement with NBR

For intra day repo with NBR only one message is needed, from the Participant and

matching is not required because the system will manage the control criteria process

(eligible securities, amount, etc). After successful validation, a DvP transaction is

immediately started.

If there are not enough securities to be blocked, the operation is immediately rejected.

Note: in case that the participant is the buyer of securities, it will send an MT 541 and

the flow will be updated accordingly.

4.1.4 Pledges

4.1.4.1 Pledge between two SaFIR’ Participants

SaFIR is able to manage: pledge registration, pledge changing, pledge release,

pledge execution, pledge redemption warning.

Pledge can be set up between two SaFIR’ Participants (own name or client name),

between a SaFIR’ Participant and a third party (which is not a SaFIR’ Participant), or

to support settlement of DNS systems authorized by the NBR.

Pledge substitution means that a certain ISIN pledged for a certain quantity can be

substituted by another ISIN for a certain quantity.

Securities pledged can be executed through sale or through appropriation.

Securities pledged can be transferred (in case of portfolio transfer) using MT527.

For pledges between a participant and a third party, the operational flow are the same

as the previous, taking into accounts that:

information of the pledge received from the third party are sent through manual

interface by SaFIR operator;

when a Pledgee i.e. a third party executes the pledge, it has to open a cash or

a securities account with a Participant and such Participant will send the

message to SaFIR to execute the pledge.

4.1.4.2 Pledge to support settlement of DNS

Pledge is registered based on the instruction received only from the Pledger

Participant and no matching is required.

SaFIR must validate the message received from Participants with the information

regarding the eligible issues and the relevant haircut.

On the basis of a request received from DNS, RTGS request to SaFIR the execution

of the pledge.

SaFIR Reason Codes and narrative fields

The fields used are 25D “Status Code”, 24B “Reason Code” and for narrative reason field

“70D”.

The field 25D has the following format:

:4!c/[8c]/4!c - (Qualifier) (Data Source Scheme) (Status Code)

The field 24B has the following format:

:4!c/[8c]/4!c - (Qualifier) (Data Source Scheme) (Reason Code)

The field 70D has the following format:

:4!c//6*35x - (Qualifier) (Narrative)

The optional “Data Source Scheme” part is not used.

Also, as a Swift rule, 24B “Status Code” part is equal with the 24B “Qualifier”.

SaFIR uses the following Reason Codes:

1. for 25D “Qualifier” CPRC (this are the Cancel Reason Codes used by SaFIR transactions):

a) for “Status Code“ CAND:

:25D::CPRC//CAND

:24B::CAND//CANI - The instruction has been cancelled as you requested.

:25D::CPRC//CAND

:24B::CAND//CANS - The instruction has been cancelled by the system.

:25D::CPRC//CAND

:24B::CAND//NARR

:70D::REAS//narrative_reason

WHERE narrative_reason is a SaFIR validation rule. Normally this narrative option is not used

since the validation is also done before the transaction is generated, but it may appear.

:25D::CPRC//DEND

:24B::DEND//DCAN - The cancellation request has been denied since the instruction has

already been cancelled.

:25D::CPRC//DEND

:24B::DEND//DPRG - The cancellation request/repo call request has been denied because the

process of settlement is in progress.

25D::CPRC//DEND

instruction has already settled.

:25D::CPRC//REJT

:24B::REJT//NRGN - The cancellation request has been rejected since the instruction could not

be found.
