An NFC is that fellow who is not, in ESMA’s eyes, a financial counterparty. Relevant for determining clearing thresholds (and by extension variation margin thresholds) whereupon you must inspect your NFC’s bona fides to determine whether it is an NFC+ or an NFC- (the latter being he who is not, in ESMA’s eyes, an NFC+.
