European Commodity Clearing AG (“ECC”) is a clearing house located in Leipzig, Germany which provides clearing and settlement services for numerous commodity exchanges in Europe and their global client community. As a clearing house we fall under the same strict anti-money laundering and sanction laws regime as banks. To address these requirements, we have established processes which enable us to thoroughly check the identity of new clients and constantly monitor existing clients against those very high standards (“know your customer” or “KYC”).
