BREAKING DOWN ’Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian - DWAC’. The DWAC process offers a number of benefits to investors, including time, cost savings, and lower risk. As an electronic system, DWAC allows for immediate transfer to a brokerage account.
DWAC is the acronym for Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian. The DWAC transaction system run by The Depository Trust Company (a.k.a. DTC or CEDE & CO) permits brokers and custodial banks, the DTC participants, to request the movement of shares to or from the issuer’s transfer agent electronically.
What is needed to DWAC? 1 The receiving brokerage firm’s name. 2 The DTC number of the broker. 3 The exact name of the account that is to be credited as well as the account number.
The DWAC is one of two ways of transferring between broker/dealers and the DTC, the other being the Direct Registry System (DRS) method. Both enable investors to hold securities in registered form on the books of the transfer agent, rather than in physical form.
