Benefits of Membership

ISITC is comprised of thousands of individuals from numerous companies worldwide, including asset servicers, broker/dealers, asset managers/owners and solution providers. Our mission is to support global securities operations, to promote Straight Through Processing throughout the industry, to develop standards and market practices designed to enhance efficiency, and to use the combined expertise of its members to address developments within the industry. These standards range from transaction initiation/confirmation through settlement and subsequent downstream processes for corporate actions, reconciliation and securities lending. In addition, the organization focuses on a variety of products and transaction types including OTC Derivatives, Repos, Factor-based Securities and Transfers. ISITC market practices are widely adopted by the industry and enable efficiency gains for the entire community of users.

ISITC provides members with the means to influence the securities transaction process through collaboration with other industry participants. Our members have an unparalleled opportunity to be heard by joining ISITC’s Working Groups, Forums and Committees where they will have full access to vital, up-to-date information on business and industry trends and connections with other industry participants. A full list of the Working Groups, Forums and Committees can be found in each of the accompanying tabs on the ISITC website.
