Yes, if the ISDA Master Agreement is governed by English law and your entity has no address in England and Wales. The Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement asks each party to specify its agent for service of process, and dealers will not trade until an agent is named. Appointment with Tremark takes one order form and is usually confirmed within 24 hours.
Where the requirement sits in the ISDA framework
The ISDA Master Agreement deals with service of process in its boilerplate, and Part 4 of the Schedule is where each party specifies the agent it appoints. For English law masters, an overseas counterparty is expected to name an agent in England and Wales; leaving the field blank is not an option a dealer's legal team will accept, because close out and enforcement depend on being able to serve quickly.
What derivatives clients typically need from us
ISDA appointments are frequently multi document: the Master Agreement, a Credit Support Annex or Deed, and sometimes related repo or securities lending documentation such as a GMRA or GMSLA under the same trading relationship. One Tremark appointment can name all of them, with a second agreement adding £30 and three or more adding £60 to the fee, so the whole trading stack is covered by a single letter of appointment your counterparty's lawyers can file.
Timing around onboarding
Process agent details are usually requested during negotiation of the Schedule, alongside your other elections. Appointing early keeps documentation moving: we confirm within 24 hours, the standard letter follows in two to three working days, and a same day letter is available for £150 where trading is waiting on completion. Banks, funds and corporates in over 60 countries use our standard order form for exactly this.
