The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of Treasury administers and enforces a series of laws that impose economic sanctions designed to further U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives.
Sanctions are imposed against targeted foreign countries and territories, as well as specially designated nationals (SDN’s) and blocked persons, which may include terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
All financial institutions, including U.S. banks and subsidiaries of U.S. banks, are required to comply with the economic sanctions and embargo programs administered under regulations issued by OFAC.

Custodian is DTC
OR Custodian is Transfer Agent
(FAST)
DTC’s FAST program allows the Depository to place its customers’ assets in the custody of participating FAST Transfer Agents. In doing so, the movement of physical securities is minimized, thus reducing the risks associated with lost securities, as well as the costs of insuring, handling, and shipping physical certificates.
