Bilateral repurchase agreement

(Bilateral repo).

A repurchase agreement (repo) between two parties.

The corporate investor in a bilateral repo is responsible for administrative processes including confirmation and settlement of the trade and the daily collateral management.

This arrangement differs from a tri-party repo, under which an agent acts as an intermediary between the two principal parties and deals with related administrative processes.
