Clearstream Banking AG to be renamed to Clearstream Europe AG
Clearstream today announced that Clearstream Banking AG will be renamed to Clearstream Europe AG, effective September 26, 2025.
Existing contractual agreements, service level agreements (SLAs), power of attorneys (PoAs) and other contractual documentation remain legally valid and will not need to be repapered. Future contracts and documents will bear the new legal entity name “Clearstream Europe AG” once it comes into force.
Public documents (for example, Fee Schedule, Client Handbooks and Connectivity manuals) will be updated with the new legal entity name. Similarly, systems bearing the legal entity name will undergo updates.
The BIC and the LEI will not change.
The new legal entity name will be reflected in the GUIs and reports. It does not trigger any change in Clearstream’s processes.
From a legal and commercial standpoint, should you refer to Clearstream Banking AG in the future in internal, bilateral or third-party documentation, please refer to Clearstream Europe AG from 26 September 2025.
From an operational standpoint, Clearstream foresees potential impact on clients and partners’ side if they have any automation, macros or other algorithms that read the Clearstream name.
