Credit Management

Credit limits control how much exposure each trading entity can take on. Administrators and credit officers manage these limits through the Management Panel.

How credit works on AEX​

Every order submission triggers a credit check. The system verifies that the entity's remaining credit allocation can cover the potential exposure from the new order. If credit is insufficient, the order is rejected.

Viewing credit status​

Navigate to Management Panel → Credit to see:

  • Entity credit summary — total allocated, utilised, and available credit per entity
  • Limit breakdown — individual credit limits by counterparty
  • Pending requests — credit limit change requests awaiting approval

Setting credit limits​

  1. Select the entity in the credit panel
  2. Click Add Limit or edit an existing limit
  3. Enter the counterparty entity and the limit amount (NZD)
  4. Submit for approval (or apply directly if you have bypass approval permission)
note

Credit limits are bilateral — Entity A's limit with Entity B is independent of Entity B's limit with Entity A.

Approval workflow​

Credit limit changes follow an approval process:

  1. Requester submits a limit change
  2. Approver (from the counterparty entity) reviews and approves or rejects
  3. Once approved, the new limit takes effect immediately

Documentation​

Each credit arrangement can have supporting documentation attached. Use the Documentation panel to upload and manage ISDA agreements, credit support annexes, and other relevant documents.
