ISSUER SERVICES · CROSS-BORDER

Your U.S. Agent at the Border

Cross-border issuers need a U.S. presence that speaks DTC natively. EST serves as co-agent for Canadian issuers and as the DTC FAST agent for issuers whose principal agent lacks FAST access, bridging registers across the border without splitting the record.

Canadian Co-Agency

Co-agent structure done right. We coordinate with your Canadian transfer agent so the combined register reconciles across both sides of the border, transfers flow in both directions, and neither agent's book drifts.
Dual-listing support. U.S. clearing and settlement for interlisted securities, with the DTC position managed against the Canadian register in lockstep.

DTC Access and Attestations

FAST agency. As DTC Limited Participant #7925 with FAST eligibility, we provide the balancing, DWAC processing, and DRS interface that non-FAST agents cannot.
Same-day DTC attestations. When the Street needs an attestation to settle today, it gets it today.

Compliance Screening

AML / KYC. Holder identification and documentation review to anti-money-laundering standards on cross-border transfers and issuances.
OFAC screening. Sanctions screening built into intake, not bolted on after.

Boutique Responsiveness. Institutional Backbone.

Let's find the right fit.
