DTC seeks to cut stock registration transfer processing time from days to minutes

The Depository Trust Company has filed a proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to revamp its Direct Registration System with the goal of cutting stock registration transfer processing times from days to minutes. The plan focuses on automating procedures by reducing batch processing and manual steps. Under the proposal, DTC’s securities processing application would automatically create orders and reflect shares in participants’ accounts after approval.
