Problem links[edit]

"Validation, delivery, and settlement" is the usual listing of back office services provided by clearinghouses. But putting them in as links here yielded amusing results. The "delivery" link especially so -- it sends me to an article on childbirth. I'll need to do some more work to give the financial significance of such terms their props.

Could someone spell out the meaning of DCO (DERIVATIVES CLEARING ORGANIZATIONS) in this context? Ben Kovitz 08:05, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

merge clearing (finance) definition?[edit]

There is a seperate section called Clearing (finance) that has more or less the same information as this entry. Should they be merged?

support merge two pages are basically the same. History2007 (talk) 09:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They should not be merged as they are very different in nature. Rather this one should make clear how a clearing house operates, and the parts relevant to central counterparty clearing should be incorporated in the other article.WikiDorset (talk) 19:19, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To add to potential confusion, there's Banker's clearing house and Cheque clearing. All are aspects of the same subject. WikiDorset (talk) 20:05, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clearinghouse cure article for basics[edit]

The Clearinghouse Cure is one of the more basic explanations of clearinghouses and their history; although it comes from a right-wing think tank, I think the author makes some good points. Will try to add it later. Incidentally, I want to move this article to "Clearinghouse (finance)" and merge the "clearing (finance)" article into it.II | (t - c) 19:36, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

The clearing house of the pre-20th century settled banknotes of different banks. I am not sure what other functions they performed then and how the evolved into what they are today. Perhaps someone could add a sentence or two.Phmoreno (talk) 13:06, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Standard Spelling of Term Is Clearinghouse.[edit]

The term clearinghouse, as used by U.S. financial institutions, is one word, not two. Cf. Merriam-Webster—"Merriam-Webster.com". reference. Encyclopaedia Britannica.—and many other dictionaries and reference works.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clearinghouse

If the entry is meant to retain a common spelling in other countries, then shouldn't the U.S. spelling be listed as an alternate at the beginning of the article, since countless writers in the States will look up the term on Wikipedia and copy the spelling verbatim without verifying it elsewhere?

Move portions?[edit]

Much of the Clearing house article addresses the role of a CCP. I suggest moving those sections there, and then merging into this article existing articles on Bankers' clearing house and Cheque clearing, which discuss its history and role.WikiDorset (talk) 18:03, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiDorset: I have deleted the move portions tag from this Talk page because it will cause the Talk page to be wrongly categorised. I think it should have been a merge tag on the article itself per WP:MERGE because the target page already exists. Since the merge has effectively happened anyway the merge tag would now be irrelevant. Hope this is helpful - see also my comments at Talk:Cheque clearing#Merge proposal.

Many thanks. Much to learnWikiDorset (talk) 21:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's move this, now improved article, back to cheque clearing and have separate articles on Clearing (finance), Clearing house (finance), and Central counterpart clearing. Whizz40 (talk) 04:10, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit history[edit]

Due to a copy and paste merge from Cheque clearing to this article title followed by an article move back over the Cheque clearing redirect, most of the edit history for this article is at Cheque clearing and that article has lost it edit history. This would need an administrator to resolve - Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves, WP:Parallel histories. Whizz40 (talk) 18:09, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
