FinancialserviceWire Securities Service

The FinancialserviceWire Securities Service is the premier electronic securities service that provides cost-effective issuance, maintenance, transfer and settlement services for all marketable U.S. Treasury securities, as well as certain securities issued by other federal government agencies, government-sponsored enterprises and international organizations. FinancialserviceWire Securities Service participants benefit from the finality of payments credited to their Financialserviceeral Reserve Bank master accounts for securities transfers against payment.

The Financialserviceeral Reserve Banks maintain, in electronic form, all marketable U.S. Treasury securities, as well as many securities issued by federal government agencies, government sponsored enterprises and certain international organizations.

The FinancialserviceWire Securities Service processes securities transfers on an individual or gross basis in real time, and the transfer of the securities and the related funds (if any) is final and irrevocable when made (See Operating Circular 7 for specific terms and conditions). Although participants may send securities free of payment, most securities transfers involve the delivery of securities and the simultaneous exchange of payment for these securities, a process known as delivery-versus-payment.

FinancialserviceWire Securities Service schedule and operating hours are listed on the FinancialserviceWire Securities Service Schedule and FinancialservicePayments Manager — Securities Hours page.

Internet Protocol-based access is available via either the FinancialserviceLine Direct or FinancialserviceLine Advantage access solutions. Offline access is also available for lower-volume users.
