Legal and procedural aspects
Procedural aspects governing a repurchase agreement with the NCB and legal documentation used (if applicable)

As HCB
allows REPO

As CCB

For outright and repo technique it is necessary to open client ´s account in CDCP for each NCB. NBS will open this account upon request and will act as administrator of the account. Delivery of collateral with repo technique must be performed according to CDCP Rules. No exchange of ownership takes place during mobilization via repo technique in Slovakia.
Procedural aspects governing a pledge towards NCB and legal documentation used (if applicable)

As HCB
allows pledge

As CCB

For the pledge technique counterparty must open a separate owner’s account in CDCP and pledge it in favour of HCB. It is not necessary to open an account for an NCB, as securities are transferred on the new separate owner’s account of the counterparty. Each NCB is requested to notify National Bank of Slovakia in advance if any new account was opened by counterparty that is pledged in favour of HCB. This notification that should be sent at least one business day prior to account usage is important for a correct static data setup.
