Implementation Arrangements

In October 2012 the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) opened for comment reporting templates for residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) as part of its objective to introduce new repo-eligibility criteria for asset-backed securities (ABS). The final RMBS reporting requirements, taking into account industry feedback, were published on 31 July 2014. Reporting templates for other ABS and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were opened for comment in October 2013. The final CMBS and other ABS reporting requirements, taking into account industry feedback, were published on 1 October 2014. For detailed guidance regarding data to be reported, refer to Data to be Reported.

Information providers (IPs) intending to submit are required to test lodgement of their securitisation data with the RBA in the testing environment prior to a formal submission to the Securitisation System. All IPs will have access to the Securitisation System industry test environment by arrangement on an ongoing basis. To access the testing environment, contact the Securitisation Support Centre at ssc@rba.gov.au or by phone on 1800 919 211.

From 30 June 2015, all RMBS, CMBS and other ABS that are repo-eligible with the RBA are subject to the new reporting requirements and the RBA's grandfathering arrangements.
