1. Introduction
Based on collected feedback from Trading Participants, Eurex Deutschland will introduce a change with the purpose of streamlining the communication with Trading Participants.
From 1 February 2026, a distinction will be made between the Nominated Person and the Compliance Contact to ensure that legal and sanction-related information in particular reaches the right contact person.
What is changing?
At present, the majority of the communication, including legal requests and sanctions matters, are directed to the Trading Participant's "Nominated Person”. The Nominated Person is a member of the Management Board of the Trading Participant and fulfils the legal requirements according to § 19 para. 4 sentence 1 no. 1 Exchange Act (BörsG).
From 1 February 2026, the following roles/contacts will be distinct:
The Compliance Contact can be designated and registered by Central Coordinators and their Deputies via the Member Section portal. No additional approval from Eurex Deutschland is required.
2. Required action
In light of the expanded scope of communications the role of Compliance Contact will receive, we kindly request that Trading Participants to review and update (if necessary) the Company Contacts in the Member Section portal.
Designating a specific person as the Compliance Contact has the advantage of more streamlined communication on all compliance/legal matters.
Therefore, we kindly ask you to have at least one up to date Compliance Contact designated by 1 February 2026.
You can make this update by following these steps:
Please note that if no Compliance Contact is added by the deadline, the individual listed as the “Nominated Person” will automatically be designated as the “Compliance Contact”.
3. Details
If your company is admitted to trading on Eurex Deutschland and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB®), the same individual can be added as the Compliance Contact for both exchanges. More information on different purposes of Contact Types as well as their registration process can be found in the Contact Type Guide.
We are confident that this adjustment will streamline our communication. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in ensuring your contact details are up to date.
Should you have any questions or require assistance with this process, please do not hesitate to contact client.services@eurex.com.
Thank you for your continued collaboration.
