The Cusip Service Bureau (CSB), the leading provider of unique issuer and instrument identifiers, today announced the introduction of Cusip Request, a new Web-based system for processing requests for securities identifiers.
The new system, using an online form and attachments, reduces the time it takes to submit an application for CUSIP identifiers while providing a way to attach required documents to the online application. Previous request methods were still partially paper-based or email-based and would not allow for supporting attachments to remain paired with the accompanying online application.
"We have received much positive feedback from issuers regarding the new CUSIP Request system," said Jim Taylor, Managing Director for Standard & Poor's, which operates the CSB for the American Bankers Association. "We continuously seek to deliver our services in ways that increase our value to the market, in particular by making our services more efficient and easier to use."
With the new online system, applicants seeking CUSIP identifiers can go to the Web site, click on the "CUSIP Request" link on the left-hand side of the home page and complete the application, attaching supporting documentation into the online submission. Requestors receive a 10 percent discount per request for using the online CUSIP Request System.
