Client Money Sample Clauses

The Client Money clause defines how a service provider must handle funds received from or on behalf of the client. Typically, it requires that such money be kept separate from the provider’s own funds, often in a designated client account, and may set out rules for accounting, reporting, and permitted uses of the money. This clause ensures that client funds are protected from misuse or commingling, thereby safeguarding the client’s interests and maintaining trust in the business relationship.

Please inform us if you do not agree to this. • Retain for our own use, any interest earned on client money.

Client Money. We treat money received from you or held by us on your behalf in accordance with the requirements of the Client Money Rules.
Client Money. We, in the course of carrying on insurance distribution, handle client money in accordance with the FCA Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) rules, which are designed to protect You. A copy of the CASS rules is available on request. We handle client money in either one of the following ways, both of which are described in more detail below: i. it is held on Your behalf in a segregated bank account that is subject to a non-statutory trust; or ii. it is held by Us as agent of the relevant insurer (“risk transfer”). The aim of the trust is to protect You in the event of Our financial failure, or the failure of the bank or a third party at which the money may be held. In such a circumstance, Our general creditors (or those of the bank or third party) should not be able to make claims on client money, as such money will not form part of Our (or the bank’s or third party’s) property. The fact that We will hold money on trust gives rise to fiduciary duties which will be owed to You until the client money reaches the insurer, at which time Our fiduciary duties with regard to Your money will cease. By holding client money subject to a non-statutory trust, We are entitled to and may make advances of credit from the trust to enable a client’s premium obligation to be met before the premium is remitted to Us. Similarly, it allows claims and premium refunds to be paid from the trust to a client before receiving remittance of those monies from the insurer. Risk transfer applies where money is held by Us as agent of a relevant insurer in accordance with a written agreement with that insurer. The written agreement will specify the extent to which risk transfer will apply and whether it includes all items of money or is restricted for example, to the receipt of premiums. Where risk transfer applies, You will be protected to the extent that any premiums We receive from You are treated as having been received by the insurer when they are received by Us. Where the agreement extends to premium refunds and/or claims, any premium refunds or claims will be treated as received by You only when they are actually paid to You. Any interest earned on client money that is subject to a non-statutory trust will be retained by Us. We may also arrange to hold client money, that is subject to a non- statutory trust, in separately permitted designated investments with a value at least equivalent to the money that would otherwise have been paid into a client bank account. If We do this, We will be...

The Company will promptly place any Client money into a Segregated Client Account. 26.2. The Company shall not account to the Client for profits or interest earned on Client money (other than profit gained through trading Transactions from his Client Account(s) under this Agreement) and the Client waives all right to interest. 26.3. The Company may deposit Client money in overnight deposits and will be allowed to keep any interest. 26.4.

Client money may be held on the Client’s behalf with an intermediate broker, a bank, a market, a settlement agent, a clearing house or OTC counterparty located in Cyprus and/or in the EEA. The legal and regulatory regime applying to any such person will be the one applicable under the rules and laws of Cyprus and/or of the EEA and in the event of a bankruptcy and/or insolvency and/or any other equivalent act and/or omission and/or failure of that person as to the management of the Client’s money, the Client’s money will be treated in accordance to the abovementioned applicable rules and laws applicable in Cyprus and/or in the EEA. The Company will not be liable for such a bankruptcy and/or insolvency and/or any other equivalent act and/or omission and/or failure of that person and/or acts or omissions of any other third party similar to the person referred in this clause. 26.7.

Client Money. We are not permitted to handle client money and we cannot accept a cheque made out to us (unless it is in respect of an item for which we have sent you an invoice) or handle cash.
Client Money. (a) We have categorized you, by default and unless otherwise specified and agreed between you and us, as a retail client and therefore in accordance with applicable law and subject to clauses 20.1b and 20.1c we will place an amount equal to your Total Equity minus your Trading Credits (as and if available and as and if displayed on the platform) into a client money bank account. We will deal with your money in accordance with the FCA’s Client Money rules and guidance, which require us to hold it in a client bank account, separating your funds from ours. Such money may be held by a bank with other clients’ money in a pooled client account. (b) We will exercise all due skill, care and diligence in selecting a third-party bank to use to hold Client Money and will periodically review the adequacy and appropriateness of any bank where your money is deposited, in accordance with the Client Money Rules. (c) We will carry out reconciliations at the close of business on each Business Day between money required to be held in the client money bank account and money that may be held on our own account in accordance with the FCA Rules, and any required transfer to or from the client money bank account in respect of your Account will take place on the following Business Day. We may carry out such reconciliations and transfers more frequently, should we reasonably consider that this is necessary to protect our or your interests. (d) We may hold funds you pay to us in unbreakable deposits (UDs) ranging from thirty (30) days duration but not exceeding ninety-five (95) days (“Long Term Deposit Accounts”). The risk of placing client money in a Long- Term Deposit account is that in the event of the firm’s insolvency the process of pooling off client money cannot start until the account has matured. Only an appropriate proportion of client money will be held in such UDs, and all such amounts will continue to comply with the FCA Client Money rules at all times. The Company does not believe that this increases the liquidity risk of the Company in a significant manner. (e) You agree that we may cease to treat money held on your behalf as client money and release it from our client money bank account(s), i. if you have no positions and have not placed a trade in the previous six (6) years, and we have been unable to contact you. Such money will, however, remain owing to you and we will make and retain all records of all balances released from client money bank accounts under this ...
