What is a Service Provider?

• Allows a company to outsource its

processes (services) to another company

• Service outsourcing is done per each

market role (e.g. BRP, DSO) and per each

service (e.g. Collateral, External interface)

• Each service for each market role can be

outsourced for different companies acting

as Service Providers

• The company acting as a Service Provider

can have market roles of it’s own

• Service outsourcing is time dependent

• The market participant retains the right also

itself to act in the role(s) it outsources

• The agreement of a Service Provider

relationship is done between the market

participant and Service Provider without

eSett participation
