description: >-
  Clearstream is a leading provider of post-trade infrastructure services for
  international securities transactions. They offer settlement, custody, and
  collateral management services for bonds, equities, and investment funds.
  The Clearstream developer surface is built on regulated post-trade messaging
  rather than a public REST API. Clients connect through ClearstreamXact
  (Web Portal, File Transfer via SWIFTNet FileAct, and Xact via SWIFT FIN),
  CASCADE via SWIFT and MQ, the CreationOnline / CreationDirect channels,
  Vestima for fund order routing, and the CmaX triparty collateral platform.
  Messages follow ISO 15022 and ISO 20022 standards, with ongoing migration
  toward ISO 20022 driven by the SWIFT CBPR+ programme.
