Registration Information - UW Source & Underwriting Central
The Underwriting eligibility request platforms, UW SOURCE (which also provides access to the New Issue Information Dissemination System, “NIIDS”) and Underwriting Central (UWC) can be accessed by logging in through the “DTCC Web Portal”: https://portal.dtcc.com.
Registration for both applications are controlled through the assignment of Super Access Coordinators (“Super ACs”). The Super AC is given access to DTCC’s Customer Registration System (“CRS”), which will allow the Super AC to register themselves to the Underwriting application(s) as well as register other users at their firm.
Firms that do not have a Super AC must execute a "Super Access Coordinator Authorization Form for DTCC Systems," and designate at least two individuals at their firm as Super ACs.
Underwriting Central (UWC) enables clients to submit Retail CDs for eligibility using the electronic certificate model. If your firm submits Retail CDs for eligibility, you may require access to both UW SOURCE & UWC. Please specify on the Super AC form if you require access to both UWC & UW Source.

Please note that the registration process takes up to 48 hours to complete once all required documentation is received by DTCC.
