The establishment of the FIFA Clearing House (FCH) is a key element of the transfer system reform package adopted by the FIFA Council in 2018 in order to promote and protect the integrity of professional football.
The FCH is a payment institution established in France that acts as an intermediary in payments relating to training rewards (solidarity mechanism and training compensation) deriving from articles 20 and 21 and Annexes 4 and 5 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP). The FCH ensures that payments by new clubs are correctly distributed to training clubs. The payments are based on the final electronic player passport (EPP) and allocation statement approved by the FIFA administration.
The rights and obligations of the FCH and clubs are included in the FIFA Clearing House Regulations and the Terms and Conditions. The FCH does not charge any fees for the provision of these payment services. While providing these payment services, the FCH is compliant with national and international financial and non-financial regulations, including the applicable anti-money laundering and sanction laws.

For more information on the FCH onboarding platform (an online platform on which clubs share documents and information with the FCH, as requested by the FCH), please refer to the Videos & Documentation section.
