DTC’s Withdrawals Service gives Participants simple, automated ways to move eligible securities out of the depository and have positions registered in the name of their firm, their customer or another designated holder. The service supports withdrawals when securities need to be held outside DTC’s book-entry environment, transferred to a transfer agent or delivered in physical form.

By centralizing withdrawal processing through DTC, firms can reduce manual steps, improve recordkeeping and manage exceptions more efficiently. Electronic options can also limit the handling and delivery of certificates, helping shorten processing times, lower costs and reduce the risks associated with lost, delayed or damaged securities.
