Pricing Disclosure – EMT Minting and Redemption Service
Introduction
This Pricing Disclosure explains how fees and charges apply to the crypto‑asset services provided by ClearBank Europe N.V. (“ClearBank Europe”, “we”, “us”) in connection with the minting and redemption of EURC and USDC (the “EMT Minting & Redemption Service”).
This disclosure is intended for onboarded, regulated financial institutions. It does not replace the pricing terms agreed in your contract with us. It is designed to provide fair, clear and non‑misleading information on our pricing and to make our pricing, costs and fees policies publicly available.
1. Scope of services covered by this disclosure
This Pricing Disclosure applies to the following cryptoasset services provided by ClearBank Europe in relation to the EMT Minting & Redemption Service:
- Reception and transmission of orders on behalf of clients;
- Execution of orders on behalf of clients; and
- Transfer services for crypto‑assets on behalf of clients.
These services support the minting and redemption of EURC and USDC for onboarded clients.
2.1 At‑par issuance and redemption (EURC / USDC)
- EURC and USDC are minted and redeemed at par (e.g., 1 EUR = 1 EURC; 1 USD = 1 USDC).
- We do not apply spreads, margins or proprietary pricing to the EMT's par value for minting and redemption.
- We do not trade crypto‑assets using our own capital as part of the EMT Minting & Redemption Service.
2.2 EMT FX orders (where applicable)
If you request an EMT FX Order (e.g., a FX conversion associated with minting or redemption workflow that requires EUR↔USD conversion), then:
- The underlying FX price is sourced externally (for example via a third‑party provider or liquidity source).
- Where contractually agreed, ClearBank Europe may charge an On‑chain FX fee and/or present a client rate that includes a fixed, pre‑disclosed uplift.
- Any FX rate and fee applied will be disclosed to you prior to execution and/or in the confirmations/receipts agreed in your contracting model.
Important: Minting/redemption at par is distinct from any FX conversion that may be needed for associated fiat legs or optional order types.

- Blockchain network fees (e.g., gas / transaction fees);
- Wallet, custodian, settlement or infrastructure provider fees used by you; and

7. No inducements for order routing
ClearBank Europe does not receive fees, rebates, or non‑monetary benefits in exchange for routing client orders to particular venues or service providers.
