Euroclear XS ISIN

Euroclear XS ISIN

Many companies apply for an “XS” ISIN code which is allocated by Euroclear or Clearstream from Europe for securities like stocks and bonds and notes. An XS-ISIN is the international ISIN code as opposed to the first two letters of most country ISINs that begin with the country’s name (i.e. Hong Kong is “HK” or Singapore is “SG”).

XS-ISIN numbers such as notes, MTNs, bonds and stocks are assigned a single XS-ISIN number by Euroclear or CLearstream Banking. This ISIN code is shared between both ICSDs via a common file platform. Increasingly, many of the world’s new issuers and market participants utilize one form an of an ISIN codes a means of security identification.
