The ALERT® platform is the industry’s largest and most compliant online global database for the maintenance and communication of account and standing settlement instructions (SSI), enabling a global community of investment managers, brokers/dealers and custodian banks to share account and SSI data accurately and automatically.
This overview section is aimed at those getting started with the ALERT product family. You can explore the ALERT services either by Role, further down the page, or by Product offering, under the Related Content section. You can find Technical documentation to support your implementation and set-up at the bottom of this page.
For functionality and SSI data set-up, follow the SSI Management menu and select the path most appropriate to your needs.
ALERT Services by Role
How your team interacts with ALERT will depend on your role and the ALERT feature you elect to utilise. Learn more about the different flavours of ALERT, by clicking the appropriate section, below:
ALERT allows buy-side clients to set up or edit accounts and maintain the SSIs associated with those accounts. Buy-side clients can link accounts to a set of existing instructions they have created using models, or SSI maintenance may be handled by Global or Regional Custodians by both the web service as well as by GC Direct, for those (GC) Direct-enabled global custodians and prime brokers. Account access can be restricted to only those broker-dealers with whom you actively trade, and your permissioned broker-dealers are notified of your instruction changes by the electronic Alerting process within ALERT. You can also retrieve broker-dealer SSIs online when needed.
ALERT features relevant to buy-side clients are: ALERT Web, Global Custodian Direct, ALERT ASSIsT, and ALERT Plus.
Find more indepth guidance for each ALERT feature from the links or Related Content Section on this page.
ALERT facilitates the communication of a wide range of settlement instructions to our sell-side clients who receive updates to settlement instructions from the buy-side via an electronic Alerting process within ALERT. Sell-side clients also retrieve settlement instructions on a trade-by-trade basis through enrichment within the Institutional Trade Processing (ITP) service suite. To expedite processing, the sell-side can link the buy-side's account codes (Access Codes) to their own internal account numbers (Broker Internal Accounts or BIAs) which ensures the retrieval of Alerts that pertain to those specific buy-side accounts of interest.
ALERT features relevant to sell-side clients are: ALERT Web and ALERT Direct.
Find more indepth guidance for each ALERT feature from the Related Content Section on this page.
With ALERT GC Direct, custodian banks and prime brokers can electronically manage settlement instructions through ALERT on behalf of their buy-side clients. This enhanced custodian and prime broker access enables them to become the owner and maintainer of SSIs using dedicated ISO 20022 compliant messages. The automated exchange of SSIs between a custodian’s central repository and the ALERT host ensures sensitive settlement data is secure. Future effective SSI updates can also be managed so custodian banks and prime brokers can proactively update their buy-side clients of pending market changes.
ALERT features relevant to custodian banks and prime brokers are: ALERT Global Custodian Web, ALERT Global Custodian Direct for Global Custodians, ALERT Global Custodian Direct for Regional Custodians, and ALERT Plus for Global Custodians.

Learn more about Product Administrators and their administration tool, Service Central.
Data Authentication (DA) is the process that the ALERT platform uses to authenticate the entry, deletion, and modification of ALERT platform data. It can be used by both broker/dealer and investment manager client types and can be applied to the following data types:
| Data Type | Broker/ Dealer | Investment Manager |
| Account Settlement Instructions | X | |
| Broker Access | X | |
| General Account | X | |
| Market Activation | X | |
| Model Settlement Instructions | X | X |
By default, Model and Account Settlement Instruction changes will require a minimum of two levels of Data Authentication for F/X, Cash and Derivative instructions. Clients can then choose to apply Data Authentication to other data types. The levels of authentication are defined as follows:
- None
- 2 levels (Creation + Approval)
- 3 levels (Creation + Approval + Authorization)
Clients can therefore set up their users to be Creators, Approvers and/or Authorizers, however the same user can not complete 2 subsequent steps in the Data Authentication process. Using Manage My Services, individuals who have been designated as a Data Authentication Administrator controls the roles applied to other users and the number of levels of authentication required.
DTCC highly recommends that you promptly action any pending items in your Data Authentication queues.
For more in-depth information about how to access Service Central, visit ITP Cross-Product - ServiceCentral.
Data Authentication Functionality
The following video provides further details on how to manage and use the Data Authentication functionality:

US Government Securities is the largest sector of the fixed income market. The GSD Learning Center is designed as an educational resource to better equip Fixed Income Clearing Corporation's (FICC's) Government Securities Division (GSD) Members and stakeholders with tools needed to use GSD's products and services.
The DVP Service offered by FICC’s Government Securities Division (GSD) supports and facilitates the submission, comparison, risk management, netting, and settlement of trades executed by its Members in the U.S. Government securities market.
The GCF Repo® Service enables dealers to trade general collateral repos, based on rate, term, and underlying product, throughout the day without requiring intra-day, trade-for-trade settlement on a Delivery-versus-Payment (DVP) basis.
To participate in the GCF Repo® Service, dealers must be netting members of FICC’s Government Securities Division (GSD).
Dealers execute GCF Repos through Inter-Dealer Brokers, who are also Members of GSD on an anonymous or “blind” basis. Brokers are then required to submit trade data on GCF Repo transactions to FICC shortly after trade execution. Upon receipt of the data, FICC immediately reports the transaction details to the dealers. The most recent trades and position information are displayed simultaneously. Position information is available both at the individual CUSIP level and at the cumulative, overall level.
When GSD receives the trade data from the locked-in trade source, it becomes the settlement counterparty to each dealer and guarantees settlement of the transactions. GCF Repo transactions are settled on a tri-party basis, which requires dealer participants to have an account with the participant clearing bank(s).
Eligible Collateral Types
Collateral currently accepted for GCF Repos include:
- U.S. Treasury Bills, Bonds and Notes,
- U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS),
- Fixed-and-adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac,
- Non-mortgage backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Banks and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and
- STRIPS (STRIPS are U.S. Treasury and agency securities that have had the interest-payment coupons separated or “stripped” from the principal, creating zero-coupon securities and separate payment securities from what was originally a single Treasury bond or note).
FICC’s Sponsored Service allows certain Netting Members to sponsor, as Sponsoring Members, eligible legal entities, as Sponsored Members, into FICC/GSD Membership. A Sponsoring Member is permitted to submit to FICC on behalf of its Sponsored Members, transactions in eligible securities for comparison and novation.
MBSD's mission is to reduce the costs and risks associated with trading in the agency mortgage-backed securities market. To accomplish this mission, MBSD provides high-quality and value-added services that are driven by the needs of its members and industry participants.
When viewing MBSD Report Center, several links or menus can be seen: MBS Clearing, MBS RTTM, and MBS PoolNet. To help our clients better understand the reports produced in these categories, we have created several report guides which explain the purpose of each report, the formats in which it is available, its report headers and its data elements. For each of the menus in MBSD Report Center, there is an associated guide. In addition, the MBSD Operational Novation Reports Guide specifically details the reports most relevant to MBSD Novation.
MBSD Report Center Main Menu
Risk management is the foundation for MBSD’s ability to guarantee settlement, as well as the means by which MBSD protects itself and its Members from the risks inherent in the settlement process, including the possibility of a Member default.
Real-Time Trade Matching (RTTM®) enables dealers, brokers and other market participants to automate the processing of fixed income securities trades throughout the trading day.
The MBSD RTTM® system provides access to users who are looking to perform MBS processing for Trade Matching, TBA Netting, Do-Not-Allocate, Pool Netting, and Clearance tasks activities.
The Real-Time Trade Matching System (RTTM) for Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) is a product of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation's Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (MBSD). RTTM is a trade-entry/management tool that increases the efficiency of trade operations yet reduces your firm’s overall risk. All activity is validated and matched in real-time. From trade submission to comparison, processing time is reduced to a fraction of what it had taken in the past.
Note:
Many of the screens and processes in the below sections refer to the previous RTTM system. These materials have been left on the Learning Center as most of the workflow has remained the same. New training assets will be rolled out over time to replace the dated reference material.
The Electronic Pool Notification section defines EPN, explains how to access the systems required to use it, explains how to find and use its reports, and provides technical information for its use.
EPN is intended for all firms that are engaged in the MBS pool allocation and notification process, including broker/dealers, inter-dealer brokers, commercial banks, government sponsored enterprises (GSEs), mortgage originators, insurance companies, investment companies, investment managers/advisors, mutual funds, trust companies, pension funds, international organizations, and organizations that act as principal to the underlying trade and maintain direct FICC accounts. Firms do not have to be members of FICC’s MBS Division clearing services in order to use EPN.
The topics in the EaSy Pool section of the MBSD Learning Center provide step-by-step instructions about how to use the Electronic Pool Notification (EPN) EaSy Pool (ESP) service. You can submit all original notification (ON), don't know (DK), cancel and correct (CC), and cancel (CX) messages through EaSy Pool. This guide assumes a general knowledge of mortgage-backed securities. This content is intended for information technology professionals, business analysts, and others who are responsible for implementing or operating EaSy Pool.
EaSy Pool is a messaging service that enables you to communicate with your counterparties. It provides a formatted data-entry and display facility for Electronic Pool Notification (EPN) message entry, message display, reporting, receipt of messages, and administration.
To access EaSy Pool, ensure that you are using EaSy Pool with an existing access coordinator (AC) set up with DTCC or FICC. Verify that you have the correct permissions.
Within the EaSy Pool section you can learn about:
- Accessing EaSy Pool
- How to navigate the EaSy Pool Home page
- Transaction Management
- Report Center
- EaSy Pool Business Administration
This section includes detailed descriptions of MBS EPN Reports. Each sample report is introduced with a definition table that lists the Purpose, Access, Clearing Fundamentals Cross-Reference, and Timing requirements. Reports can be printed only from the Report Center.
Also included in this section are various MBS code tables (e.g., Agency codes, DK Reason codes, and Trade Type codes).
It is assumed that you have a general knowledge of mortgage-backed securities processing. Please direct all questions regarding this information to the FICC Operations Department.
The Pool Substitution message provides members with an efficient method of transmitting Pool Substitutions to their allocation counterparties. The Pool Substitution message is structured to create a relationship between both the canceled and substituted pools. Canceled lots or pools are followed by substituted lots or pools of the same value (within variance).
The EPN Pair-Off section of the Learning Center provides you with access to learning resources to assist you with MBSD's Pair-Off Service.
Cash Settlement is a daily automated process of settling cash credit and debit amounts between members and FICC. To provide this service, FICC employs the Federal Reserve Bank’s National Settlement Service (NSS) to debit and credit net settlement obligations at the settling bank level of MBSD members.

DTC’s Corporate Actions Processing Service for Distributions provides full lifecycle processing, including announcing details of upcoming events, providing participants with information about their entitlements, accepting and acting on their instructions, and collecting, allocating and reporting payments.
The Distributions service includes processing events such as cash and stock dividends, principal and interest (P&I), capital gain distributions, return of capital, spin-offs, stock splits, and other events that arise from the servicing of the approximately 1.3 million active securities eligible at the depository.
P&I Cash Processing interacts with over 7,000 paying agents and issuers annually to facilitate the allocation of P&I entitlements to DTC participants on the scheduled payment date. For cash distributions, DTC provides additional services related to tracking for stock loan, repo, and fail transactions. DTC also provides the opportunity for its members to receive dividend reinvestment, payment in a foreign currency, and tax relief at-source for tax withheld on dividends paid on non-U.S. issues (See Global Tax Services fact sheets). Securities eligible for this service include foreign shares eligible at the depository but held in custody by DTC with local custodians and depositories.
