Починаючи з 15 червня 2026 року оновлені звіти будуть доступні для завантаження в електронних торгових системах товарних бірж, які є учасниками системи оцінки ризиків учасників ринку деревини. Перші торги із застосуванням системи оцінки ризику контрагента в електронній торговій системі ТОВ «Українська торгова платформа» заплановані на 25 та 26 червня 2026 року.

The Ukrainian Clearing House LLC team participated in the International Forum "Forestry Complex of Ukraine: Present, Problems and Prospects"
The Ukrainian Clearing House LLC team participated in the International Forestry Forum "Forestry Complex of Ukraine: Present, Problems and Prospects", which was held within the framework of the XXVII International Exhibition "Woodworking". The event became one of the key events of the year for representatives of the forestry, woodworking and related industries, bringing together government agencies, business, the scientific community and specialized associations to discuss current challenges and market development trends. The forum participants discussed a wide range of issues that are currently in the focus of the industry: the development of the timber exchange market, the digitalization of processes, the improvement of trading mechanisms, the integration of the Ukrainian forest industry complex into the European economic space, as well as tools to increase transparency and efficiency of the market. Within the framework of the forum, the director of Ukrainian Clearing House LLC, Olena Velyka, presented the first results of the work of the counterparty risk assessment system on the timber market and spoke about further steps towards its scaling. During the speech, it was noted that the system is already demonstrating positive results and contributing to increasing the level of transparency and responsibility of market participants. Its implementation allows minimizing the risks of non-fulfillment of obligations, improving the quality of interaction between sellers and buyers of wood, and creating additional protection mechanisms for exchange trading participants. Today, the timber market continues to develop and improve, and with it the need for modern risk management tools is growing. That is why the issue of assessing the reliability of counterparties is becoming particularly relevant. It is important for us that this topic arouses significant interest in the professional community and becomes the subject of professional discussion on such authoritative platforms. Scaling the counterparty risk assessment system will contribute to further increasing market transparency, strengthening trust between its participants and forming civilized rules for doing business, - notes Director Olena Velyka. Ukrainian Clearing House LLC is convinced that an open dialogue between the state, business and the professional community is an important prerequisite for the further development of the timber market. It is precisely such events that allow us to combine expert knowledge, exchange practical experience, and jointly develop solutions that will help increase the efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness of the industry.

Forwards performance guarantee system: risk-oriented approach
UCH informs about changes in the risk management system for forward contracts, taking into account the scaling of the risk-oriented approach to the system of guaranteeing obligations based on the rating assessment of the counterparty risk. The main change in risk management for forward trading is the modification of the guarantee system, where the size and terms of guarantee fees will depend on the rating of a particular participant. Instead of single fixed rates, the system will provide for flexible settings of interest rates for different risk groups of clearing participants. The changes cover two key stages of ensuring: Guarantee fee for participation in the auction (GF1) Differential rates: For participants with a higher rating (categories A, B, C), the fee rate will be 5%, while for less reliable participants (categories D and E) it will be 7.5 %. Terms of transfer to the seller: Depending on the rating of the winner of the auction, the share of funds that is immediately transferred to the seller and that is blocked until a certain stage of contract execution will be determined. For group A, the seller will immediately receive the full amount of the first guarantee fee for participation in the auction for inclusion in the forward payment after both parties sign the contract and pay the forward performance guarantee fee (GF 2). For group B, after signing the contract and paying GF 2, the seller will be transferred 70% of the forward amount, the remaining 30% - after shipping at least 15% of the contracted volume of timber. For groups C, D and E, after signing the contract and paying GF 2, the seller will be transferred 50% of the forward amount, the remaining 50% - after shipping at least 15% of the contracted volume of timber. Forward execution guarantee fee (GF 2) Fee rates: The percentages of the total amount for the second fee will be the same as for the first: 5% for categories A, B and C, and 7.5% for categories D and E. Ratio of cash and bank guarantee: Participants will have the right to cover part of the second installment with a bank guarantee, and this share will also depend on the rating. The highest-ranked participants will be able to use more bank guarantees: Group A: 30% in cash and 70% in bank guarantee. Group B: 50% in cash and 50% in bank guarantee. Group C: 60% in cash and 40% in bank guarantee. Groups D and E: will have the strictest requirements (70% and 80% in cash and only 30% and 20% in bank guarantee, respectively).

Ukrainian Clearing House launches payment of guarantee fees via QR code
Ukrainian Clearing House announces the launch of a new convenient feature - payment of guarantee fees using a QR code. This solution is designed to significantly simplify the payment process, minimize errors, and speed up the admission of participants to bidding. From now on, customers can make payments without manually entering bank details and assigning a payment. All necessary data is automatically pulled up after scanning the QR code, which ensures quick and correct crediting of funds without the participation of UCH managers. To pay the bill, scan the QR code using the mobile app of the bank where you have a business account. Option 1 If that doesn’t work,try another one→ Option 2 How it works?The QR code is available directly in the UCH trading system - in the generated invoice, which can be downloaded. To pay, simply use your smartphone camera or the QR code scanning function in a mobile banking application (in particular, Privat24, monobank, etc.). After scanning, all payment details - recipient, IBAN, amount and destination - are filled in automatically. Key benefits of the new feature: no errors - the risk of incorrect entry of details is eliminated; time saving - no need to correct payments or additional communication with the bank; reduced operating costs - a simplified payment process speeds up access to trading. We are constantly working to make clearing processes as simple and convenient as possible for our clients. The launch of QR code payments is a response to the market’s demand for speed and accuracy of settlements. This solution allows bidders to focus on their core business without wasting time on technical details of payments, says Olena Velyka, Director of UCH. The introduction of QR payment is another step by UCH towards digitalizing processes and increasing the convenience of work for market participants. The Ukrainian Clearing House will continue to implement modern tools to ensure fast, transparent and reliable settlements.
