Obtain Access

Only authorized CME Group Clearing Firm or partner exchange Clearing Firm administrators will have the capability to authorize access for new risk administrators. Risk administrators will need a CME Group Login to access CME Group Risk Management Tools / Globex Credit Controls.

Obtain Access to CME Group Risk Management Tools / Globex Credit Controls:

A clearing firm or partner exchange clearing administrator completes the Exhibit C - CME Risk Tool User Access / Deletion Request Form of the Schedule 6 of the Customer Connection Agreement and faxes or emails the form to your Global Account Manager.

Note: Executing Firms will need to have their clearing firm(s) submit a Schedule 6 on their behalf to access Kill Switch.

The Global Account Manager verifies the paperwork and coordinates across CME Group departments to ensure processing of the request.
The Global Account Manager contacts the clearing firm or partner exchange clearing firm when the new user has been granted access.
