Our methodology ensures we deliver a cost effective service while investing in the long-term resilience of the service for our settlement members and providing an appropriate return on equity to our shareholders.

How we charge for CLSSettlement
Before the start of each year we set out our pricing tariff table which is based on the value settled and volume of instructions submitted. Value-based charges are determined each month, based on:

1. The total value of instructions settled through CLSSettlement by all settlement members
2. Each individual settlement member’s value of instructions settled. 

Volume-based charges are based only on the number of instructions submitted to CLSSettlement for the individual settlement member.
