What is SFTR? 

The “MiFID II for repo”, SFTR is the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation, an EU law that introduced transaction reporting obligations for the repo and buy-sell back markets. In general, both counterparties to a trade need to report. 

Who is in scope for reporting? 

With some limited exemptions: 

  • EEA firms, including their EEA and non-EEA branches. 
  • EEA branches of non-EEA firms. 

What needs to be reported? 

Trades, lifecycle events such as collateral updates and collateral reuse have to be reported to a Trade Repository by T+1. 

What do I need to report under SFTR? 

Up to 113 fields are in scope for repo with 61 matching fields high risk of “reporting breaks” 

How do I report under SFTR?
