Participant Browser Services (PBS)

Participant Browser Service (PBS) takes all the information and functionality of the familiar Participant Terminal System (PTS) and makes it much easier to access and use. Accessible through existing SMART network connections, PBS adds new features not available on PTS. Through a variety of training opportunities designed to make you comfortable with PBS, we can ease you into the service in no time at all.

Benefits

As part of our goal to provide customers with innovative and flexible capabilities, DTCC is leveraging Web-based technologies like PBS to lower costs, expand access and accelerate the delivery of services to customers.

PBS will simplify customers' access to all depository processing functions by upgrading traditional back-office terminal facilities with flexible and easier-to-use PC and web browser interfaces.p>

PBS dramatically enhances usability, giving customers more intuitive browser navigation and data entry fields on screens designed to display more information.

PBS drop-down menus and online help eliminate the need to memorize or look up codes, saving customers time in accessing functions and training employees on the system.

Enhancements
Upcoming

In June 2010, the Participant Browser Service (PBS) will enable file download capabilities for the Same Day Allocation Reporting (SDAR) function.
