DTC Integration

Because of SunGard's strong relationship with The Depository Trust Company (DTC), CertMaster makes it easy to automatically balance customer files against DTC positions.

CertMaster offers full automation of book-to-book transfers and Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) processing, as well as compliance with DTC Same-Day Funds Settlement (SDFS).

Helping You Meet Today's Challenges

Today, investors, corporate management, and government regulators require timely, accurate, cost-effective management of your critical debt administration processes.

This has become more challenging with rising volumes, shrinking timelines and increasingly sophisticated instruments.  In addition, the industry is now dominated by fewer providers, who demand higher levels of service.

SunGard's CertMaster helps you meet these challenges by handling high volumes of repetitive processes - efficiently and reliably.
