 1 CCDC provides the account number in this table. 2 According to the definition of direct participants in the Red Book, the system of SD&C is a nontiered system. SD&C operates all the accounts of (private) customers directly on behalf of securities companies and custodian banks. Securities companies and custodian banks do not operate their customers accounts in SD&Cs system. They are therefore not regarded as depository participants as other tiered systems often are.
