Fidelity Investments' Dtc Number: What It Is And Why It Matters

If you're looking to transfer stocks or shares to or from a Fidelity account, you'll need to know the company's Depository Trust Company (DTC) number. This number is necessary for a DTC transfer, which is initiated by the delivering firm. The DTC number for Fidelity Investments is 0226.

Fidelity's DTC number is 0226

Fidelity's DTC number is essential for facilitating the transfer of securities from one firm to another. It serves as a unique identifier, ensuring that the transfer is directed to the correct destination. By providing the delivering brokerage firm with the necessary information, clients can efficiently transfer their eligible securities to their Fidelity account.

It is important to note that the delivering firm initiates the DTC transfer. Before initiating the transfer, clients should ensure that all stocks being transferred to Fidelity comply with their penny stock and low-priced securities transfer policy. Securities that meet certain criteria, such as a share price of less than $0.25 or a market capitalization of less than $25 million, are not eligible for deposit.

After the transfer is initiated by the sending firm, it typically takes three business days for the assets to appear in the client's Fidelity account. If there is any delay and the assets do not show up within this timeframe, clients can contact the delivering firm to follow up on the status of the transfer.

In cases where the delivering firm is not a DTC member, there may be alternative transfer methods available. For instance, Fidelity can request shares through the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS). ACATS transfers can be initiated on the Fidelity website.

DTC transfers are initiated by the delivering firm

A Depository Trust Company (DTC) transfer is initiated by the delivering firm. Clients can transfer eligible securities to Fidelity through a DTC transfer by providing the delivering brokerage firm with the following information:

• Your Fidelity account number
• Fidelity's DTC number: 0226

If a firm is not a DTC member, it may be possible to transfer by having Fidelity request the shares through the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS). ACATS transfers can be initiated at Fidelity.com/toa.

Before initiating a transfer, it is important to ensure that all stocks being transferred into Fidelity comply with their penny stock and low-priced securities transfer policy. Securities that meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for deposit (including restricted securities):

• Securities with a share price of less than $0.25
• Securities with a market capitalization of less than $25 million
• Securities with these OTC Market Tiers: Caveat Emptor, OTC (Pink-No Information), Expert Market, and Grey Market

After the transfer is initiated by the sending firm, it typically takes three business days to complete. If the assets do not appear in the Fidelity account within this timeframe, the client can contact the other firm to check the status of the transfer.

Fidelity also provides detailed information on its website about transferring assets to Fidelity accounts, including investment or retirement accounts, workplace accounts, and cash from checking or savings accounts. The process is straightforward and can be done entirely online, with pre-filled forms provided if anything needs to be printed and mailed. Most transfers are completed within 3-5 business days, but some may take longer.

DTC transfers take three business days to complete

A Depository Trust Company (DTC) transfer is a way to transfer eligible securities to Fidelity. To do this, you must provide the delivering brokerage firm with your Fidelity account number and Fidelity's DTC number, which is 0226. The transfer is initiated by the delivering firm, and it typically takes three business days to complete.

If you are transferring securities from an outside brokerage account into your Fidelity account, the sender must contact the outside firm to verify delivery instructions. The sender may need to provide the firm with the following details: your name, Social Security number (SSN), and your Fidelity account number; your account registration information, including the type of account and its ownership; Fidelity's DTC number; and Fidelity's name and address.

If you are sending shares from your Fidelity account to another Fidelity account or outside of Fidelity, you must make a written request. For shares gifted from one Fidelity account to another, use the "Transfer Between Existing Fidelity Accounts" form. For shares gifted to a brokerage account outside of Fidelity, use the "Transfer Shares as a Gift – Nonretirement" form. If you are gifting shares directly to a person, use the same form but include the following information in the Additional Details box in section 2: the full name and address of the recipient; the Social Security number (SSN) or tax identification number (TIN) of the recipient; and, if applicable, the minor's date of birth and the name of their legal guardian or custodian.

Gifts between two Fidelity accounts typically take 1-4 business days to process. After the transaction is processed, you will receive an email notification within 1-2 business days or a mailed confirmation within 3-5 business days, depending on your delivery preferences.

DTC transfers are for eligible securities

DTC stands for Depository Trust Company, and it is the largest securities depository in the world. It holds trillions of dollars worth of securities in custody, including corporate stocks and bonds, municipal bonds, and money market instruments.

DTC eligibility means that a public company's securities are able to be deposited through the DTC. DTC-eligible securities are freely tradable securities of a public company that are eligible to be deposited into the DTC.

The DTC number is typically associated with the clearing firm used by your IRA custodian. Fidelity's DTC number is 0226. Clients can transfer eligible securities to Fidelity through a DTC transfer by providing the delivering brokerage firm with their Fidelity account number and the DTC number.
