Back to Index

 
Definition:
Collateral is used to reduce risk of payment default in financial transactions and involves using assets as a guarantee by a borrower to secure a loan or credit. Collateral may be in the form of cash, assets, securities, and/or property.
Collateral management is a collection of processes used to monitor collateral that has been offered by a borrower (reporting, processing of margin calls and returns, monitoring of collateral substitution, notification of corporate events, among others). 
Transactions involving the use of collateral management include corporate lending, business-to-business lending, and over-the-counter (OTC) derivative transactions.
