What are the benefits?


1. Complete price transparency

The t2e platform is the only place where you can get up-to-date price information, from real PRN transactions based on standardised contractual terms. This enables you to benchmark the cost of PRNs in the most accurate way possible. The price you see is the price you get – there are no extra fees or in-built costs to calculate, which makes everything simple and straightforward.

2. Swift and accurate settlement

Our processes are fast and rigorous. We ask people to settle transactions within 72 hours or 3 working days and have a dedicated settlements team who monitor the process. This saves the time you spend on administration.

3. Comprehensive market intelligence

As a member you have full access to a wealth of market intelligence including live prices, historic prices, and a range of options to compare the market - everything you need to make informed decisions and to react quickly and confidently to market fluctuations.

4. Dedicated account management

As a t2e member you'll also get your own account manager to support you at every stage, from set-up to trading through to settlements, day-to-day queries and dispute resolution. Your account manager will send you the latest data and insight, helping you to feel fully in the picture.

What’s the cost?

There’s no joining fee for the first compliance year (which runs from December to January). The cost in year 2 is £100. This is charged retrospectively at the end of the trading year and discounted if the following criteria are met:

Buyers:

  • Trading activity (up to £50.00 reduction in fees)
  • Signing a Direct Debit mandate (£50.00 reduction in fees)

Sellers:

  • Trading activity (up to £50.00 reduction in fees)
  • Completing the annual sellers survey (£50 reduction in fees)

Trading fees:

All our fees are entirely transparent meaning there are never any hidden costs or margins applied.

Price Per TonneSpot Trading FeeForward Trading Fees
Above £5.00 £0.50 per tonne £0.30 per tonne**
Between £1.00-£4.99 £0.25 per tonne £0.15 per tonne**
From £0.00-£0.99 £0.10 per tonne £0.10 per tonne

* Fees are levied on both buy and sell side

** Reduced forward trading fees are conditional upon deposits being received and timely delivery of funds or PRN document. Otherwise standard Spot trading fees are charged.

Is it secure?

Safety and Security are cornerstones of t2e’s business operation. t2e members are protected by the t2e rulebook and stringent anti-default measures are in place to allow all participants to trade with confidence. Funds originating from trading activity are held in a ring-fenced account and are only released once strict criteria have been met. Use of the marketplace services provided by t2e are password protected and can only be changed by authorised personnel.

What’s the alternative?

The alternative would be to source buyers and sellers of PRNs independently. You would need to scour the market, find a consistent supply of sellers or buyers, locate reliable and up-to-date prices, and trade and settle these yourself.

t2e takes away all of that leg work, providing transparent pricing, safe trading, efficient settlement, historic and current market information and the support of your own account manager.
