ICC Adds Appendix 6 for Intraday Calls

The change documents existing procedures and was approved on May 29, 2025.
Clearing Participants May Face Intraday Calls
Under the documented procedures, ICC may trigger Non-routine, Selective, or Discretionary intraday margin calls if unrealized losses erode Initial Margin by specified thresholds or markets show elevated volatility. When ICC issues a direct debit message for an intraday margin call, affected Clearing Participants will have up to one hour to pay the call.
CRO Discretion and Documentation Requirement
The Treasury Policy clarifies that the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) or the CRO's designee may use discretion to make intraday margin calls and that if the CRO decides not to initiate a call despite breached thresholds, ICC will create a formal document explaining the reasons for not proceeding.
