Benefits of DTC Eligibility

DTC eligibility refers to a public company’s securities being eligible for deposit into the Depository Trust Company (DTC), the largest securities depository in the world.

Benefits of becoming DTC eligible and allowing for electronic transfer and deposits include:

• Zero concerns regarding fraudulent activity concerning lost certificates or the cost to replace the lost certificate
• Reducing shareholders stock deposit time into a brokerage account from weeks to hours
• Avoiding brokerage fees for physical certificate deposits
• Eliminating overnight courier fees
• Prerequisite for Lenders and Investment Banks when raising capital or incur penalties

If an issuer is not DTC eligible then its shares cannot be transferred between brokerage accounts electronically. When considering an up-list, exchanges such as NYSE and NASDAQ require DTC eligibility. Contact us today for more information regarding how we can assist you to obtain DTC eligibility.
