Members should promptly download the "Statement of Account" and verify their transaction records and fund changes. Any objections to "Statement of Account" for that trading day require a written application for review, which should be submitted to COREX by 15:30 on the next trading day. COREX, together with the fund settlement institution, will promptly issue a review based on the records of the System and issue the conclusions accordingly; and if a member fails to submit a review application on time, it shall be deemed to indicate no objections.
Article 15. The security deposits ratio ranges from 0% to 100% of the transaction amount. When the security deposits ratio is set at 100%, it is considered as the payments for goods. Trading parties may set the security deposits ratio at their discretion on the basis of the counterparty's creditworthiness.
