Access to the KDPW ARM system can be obtained via a User to Application (U2A) – the web-based interface supporting manual exchange of data – or via a purpose built A2A.
If you only intend to report a low volume of trades per year, the U2A would be your optimal solution. For higher volumes, the A2A would be the best choice.

In terms of reporting technology, communication between the reporting participant and KDPW ARM service is via .xml messaging, which is the standard set by ESMA, the EU financial market regulator.
You can find more technical information on this and other aspects of the service in our detailed service description, available here:
Xml messages - KDPW.
KDPW provides access to the test environments, both in the U2A model and the A2A model.
Access to the test environments for participants, entities seeking participation and IT vendors is free of charge.
If you are interested, we can provide you with easy access to our U2A test environment for ARM (which is completely free of charge to try out and at no obligation), for evaluation purposes so that you can get a feel for the system and see if it meets all your requirements.
Please let us know and we can easily arrange this you – click for more info:
