DB Trader
The Offshore Group benefits from the use of DB's worldwide systems and uses DB Trader as its core record of assets held by custody. This allows straight-through processing of all stock exchange deals and links into the SWIFT network for receipt and delivery of settlement messages. DB Trader can also process stock exchange transactions and is linked to our banking system, allowing movements relating to security transactions to be updated very quickly.

Electronic Communication
Clients can communicate with us in a number of ways. For the smaller account, an electronic link is available using an Excel spreadsheet format. Information is then transferred to us via encrypted messaging and fulfils our straight-through processing capabilities. Trade details can also be transferred from clients' systems using pre-defined file formats.

Internet
We are moving forward on technology, in both capturing client trade and settlement information and delivering position, transaction and valuation information to our clients via electronic means, which includes Internet access. This will allow our clients to access their information at their convenience. Our technology will continue to help our clients be more efficient and profitable.

You can find out more information and detail on our web-based system Presto On-Line from the E-Banking pages.
