Subscribe to our newsletter

The Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB) has published its 2023 industry consultation final report covering 2024 service provision of the OTC International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) and Classification Financial Instrument code (CFI).

The report summarises feedback on the introduction of a security operations centre and provides insight into industry perspectives on the implementation of a revised release process and proprietary index workflow. It also outlines details on support for increasing search-only API user fees to reflect the larger infrastructure and costs required for API functionality.

“We would like to thank industry for its participation in the consultation and have been encouraged by the increase in the number of responses this year. Stakeholder feedback is instrumental in understanding industry appetite for change as well as highlighting areas of interest for future consideration,” says Emma Kalliomaki, managing director of ANNA and the DSB.

Following publication of the final report of the consultation, the DSB will calculate annual user fees for 2024 on 4 October 2023, and publish the fees on 6 October 2023.
