DSB Webinar: Current Status, Future Plans
12 March 2018 – The current status and future developments of the Derivatives Service Bureau will be the topic of a webinar presented at 3pm UTC on 22 March. The webinar is the initial activity of the Technology Advisory Committee process, which is planned to begin committee meetings in Q2.
“The DSB, in its first iteration, was originally designed to meet the OTC derivatives reference data reporting requirements of the European Union’s MiFID II regulation,” said Sassan Danesh, Management Team, DSB. “However, the platform is increasingly being utilised to meet a broader range of regulatory and industry requirements. This webinar is also the introduction to a concerted effort to obtain as much industry guidance as possible on service levels and appropriate technologies to help us prioritize the next steps.”
Topics to be covered in the webinar include the technical performance of the DSB, and questions to participants regarding satisfaction with current service-level parameters. Looking to the future, the webinar will discuss possible enhancements to the service levels to meet industry’s broader needs.
Feedback and suggestions from participants in the webinar will be discussed. Further information-gathering exercises are planned for the coming months to support the Technology Advisory Committee in shaping the DSB’s technology strategy.

About The Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB) Ltd
Headquartered in London, the DSB is a legal subsidiary of ANNA. Its core purpose is to serve as a global numbering agency, providing unique identification of OTC derivatives to serve the needs of market participants and regulators through allocation of the International Securities Identification Number (ISIN), as well as the Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI) and Financial Instrument Short Name (FISN), as OTC products are created. The ISIN, CFI and FISN are globally recognized and adopted ISO standards for identifying and classifying financial instruments.
