These cash payments are made current accounts opened in the name of Affiliates within Bank Al-Maghrib.

Depending on the markets, the settlement of transactions at MAROCLEAR can take place according to different models and deadlines, such as T+3 for the Stock Market (Gross/Net model) or in real time for the Over-the-Counter and Repo’s branches (Gross/Gross model). The application of the Delivery versus Payment principle, as well as the use of the Central Bank currency for the settlement of cash, gives securities P/D systems a high level of security.
