On entering the application you are presented with the "My Rates" tab. This view can be personalised by
clicking on the 'pencil' icon. You can also enhance the grid and populate rates for your specific needs
by entering a Maturity Date and clicking the "Add Date" button.
When the rate values are displayed in grey they cannot be dealt; either you are not configured for that
currency (in which case please contact us or the money markets have become
particularly volatile meaning that a stable price cannot be provided – please either telephone to book
your deal, or check back later. Deal Input
To deal, simply click on the rate grid to select your required currency and tenor; this will populate
the right-hand "Deal Input" section. Alternatively you can manually enter the required details directly.
If you wish, the deal parameters can be adjusted to suit your exact needs. For example, start dates can
be any business day from today up to the next 6 business days to provide you with greater flexibility.
Enter an amount and choose your required Dealing Name, noting that if you wish to trade across several
names, check the "split" box. As rates may change, click the "Request Quote" button for an up-to-date
rate, before clicking "Submit" to progress the deal. Deal Acceptance
It is at this stage that you will irrevocably commit to the money market trade, so carefully check all the
details, including your split and auto-rollover requirements. Once checked, click the "Accept" button. If
you don't complete the check within the countdown time, you will need to resubmit the deal. Deal Split
If you have elected to split the trade you can record the sum into more than one of your Dealing Names,
thus creating several deals at the same rate & tenor in the same currency, but with different settlements.
Should you fail to complete the required information in the allotted time (approximately 10 minutes) the
committed deal will be booked as a single trade in the original dealing name. Deal Acknowledgement
Once the deal has been committed, an on-screen deal acknowledgement is produced. Clicking the Print button
creates a pdf file that you can save &/or print. Today's Trades
When returning to the main page, the trade you have just undertaken will be displayed at the foot of the
page within 'Today's Trades' section. If your colleagues are also dealing under the same Dealing Names,
you will also be able to view their trades. Trading Status
We'll provide you with important trading messages during the day in this section, including a link to the
deals that you need to action today. Trade History
This view allows you to search all of your deals, both those undertaken online and by phone. Once the
results are shown, you are provided with four options:
Acknowledgement – select the required trade(s) and click the 'Acknowledgement' button to display the
Deal Acknowledgement(s). Download – export all trades to a file which you can save on your PC. Update Roll Status – This function allows you to redefine your maturity instructions for trade(s) that
you select – see Rollovers below. Rollover Manually – If any of your trade(s) mature within the next 6 working days, clicking this button
will take you to the rollover screen. Rollover
Select the trade(s) you wish to roll and click the 'Add Selected Rows' button; this will add the value
of the deal into the lower part of the screen where you can add or repay funds and create a new deal, much
in the same way as the Deal Input functionality. In addition to this manual rollover feature, the bank will automatically process trades that you have
not rolled by maturity, relative to your auto-rollover instructions. Personalise
My Rates – There are two elements that you can personalise within My Rates; at least 1 currency and 1
rate must be selected: - The drop-down currency lists enable you to select the currencies that you wish to display on your
"My Rates" tab; &
- The check-boxes can be enabled/disabled to display the rates for the standard tenors that you wish to
see.
Deal Input – There are three parts that can be adjusted:- Rollover defaults allows you to define what maturity option you would like to have as you create deals;
- For each currency, if you have multiple Dealing Names, you can select a default Dealing Name; &
- Define your preferred Start Date for each currency.
