The Deutsche Bundesbank maintains securities accounts and collateral pools (collateral accounts) in its local collateral management system, which are used for the collateralisation of other transactions such as BBk own-account transactions and deposit protection. Separate securities accounts and collateral pools must be opened to collateralise these transactions.

Note

Information on monetary policy and the counterparty pools (collateral accounts) required for the TARGET contingency case can be found in the ECMS section.
