Electronic document management

VTB Registrar is  a modern rapidly developing company targeted at meeting the requirements  of investors, issuers and other interested persons . We assist in obtaining information ASAP. Development, expansion of electronic document turnover are among our  priorities.

Availability of e-document turnover enables us to maintain  high level  of quality customer service, increases reliability and minimizes risks of registration system, considerably accelerates executing operations in the register and minimizes  operational expenditure of professional participants of securities market.

Given development of e-document turnover in Russia VTB Registrar suggests that  both nominal holders, and issuers and investors, and other interested persons should join mutual e-document turnover.

VTB Registrar was one  of the first registrars  to start e-document turnover (EDT) with the biggest nominal holders. At the moment, EDT is introduced with such nominal holders, as NPO of JSC NRD, Vnesheconombank, JSC Bank VTB, and many, many others.

It is necessary to pay attention to a number of cases, when EDM availability  is obligatory.

So, for example, between the nominal holder and the registrar in case of  verification, EDM  has to be established.

Information exchange with the central depositary is executed on  EDM grounds.

Interaction with the transfer agent is to be carried out in e- form.

There are 3 ways of the EDM-exchange - 2 of which - with use of EDMS of NRD:

- Use of EDM EDMS NRD as Transfer-Agent (http://www.nsd.ru/ru/workflow/registrars/tas/)

- Use of EDM EDMS NRD as "Transit system" (http://www.nsd.ru/ru/workflow/transit/).

 The third way – Own EDMS of VTB Registrar based on use of Zenith portal system.
