Clearinghouse, or clearing house
A clearinghouse is a financial institution that acts as a middle agent for buyers and sellers in financial markets such as share markets. They make sure transactions, such as trades, are completed smoothly. The clearinghouse validates trades, settles accounts, collects margin payments, regulates asset delivery, and reports trading data. The National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) is the main clearinghouse for securities transactions in the US. In the futures market, clearinghouses are important for providing security and efficiency by handling multiple transactions for multiple parties.
