    • Achieve a higher percentage of “in-good-order” business by reducing the number of data-entry errors and minimizing paper applications and supporting documents that are incomplete or deficient.
    • Simplify and streamline the sales process and lower costs by reducing paper and manual processing so that distributors can focus on creating new business opportunities and servicing customers.
    • Improve turnaround time for issuing annuity contracts, to one day in many cases.
    • Secure confidential data through DTCC’s Securely Managed and Reliable Technology (SMART) network, which provides centralized, end-to-end managed communications for all post-trade clearance and settlement processing.

  • How The Service Works

    Using a mainframe or Internet connection, distributors electronically send application and premium information to NSCC, which then routes the applications and payments to insurance carriers and settles the premium.
