An initial application to the relevant competent authority is required by this date to ensure continued use by of ISDA SIMM® by financial and non-financial EU counterparties exchanging IM. As affirmed with the EBA, if an EU counterparty already submitted an initial application to its competent authority based on SIMM v2.7+2412, they do not need to resubmit because they are transitioning to SIMM v2.8+2506.
ISDA is providing guidance to ISDA SIMM® users to promote awareness and facilitate a consistent approach to preparing data for the initial application. At the request of SIMM users, ISDA has also developed a generic template for the initial application. Use of the template is optional and at the discretion of each applying entity.
