Underwriting Services

Underwriting is the entry point for depository and book-entry transfer services at The Depository Trust Company (DTC). UW SOURCE is the system that gives you access to Underwriting functions. The Underwriting Central (UWC) application integrates data validation, electronic vaulting, and e-signatures to create a better experience for brokers and issuers. It improves upon UW SOURCE with a more streamlined user interface, fewer operational touch-points, improved data quality, and added transparency into the DTC eligibility life cycle.
