SECURITY SAFEKEEPING

The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) requires financial institutions to use an outside specialist to maintain securities. The service is called Security Safekeeping. The Security Safekeeping process involves a safekeeping agent validating security yield disbursements and sending those disbursements via ACH to the financial institution.
