 The International Securities Association for Institutional Trade Communication is an industry association that collaborates to develop and promote market practice and shared standards in the global securities industry in order to reduce inefficiencies, lower risk, and build shareholder value.
The association represents a wide range of North America's securities-trading companies which depend on split-second timing and second-to-none accuracy and efficiency in their trading transactions. ISITC helps to develop the most effective, up-to-date, and widely-used communications processes to accomplish this. ISITC develops recommendations for straight-through processing and other electronic trade and communications procedures - recommendations that are then adopted by the industry and become standards that have transformed trading processes. Over 1,500 individuals from 350 member organizations work together to generate the proposals that refine these processes market-wide. The result is that they are revolutionizing trading operations, benefiting not only the members but the industry as a whole. The association conducts quarterly working meetings and an annual vendor show each Spring.
