FIRST addresses the industry’s challenges

FIRST allows you to fully comply with your three reporting requirements under the Transparency Law:

A cutting-edge technology

Filing regulated information is time sensitive and the involved stress can lead to human errors. To minimise the chances of mistakes, FIRST performes a document scan of all uploaded files in search of ISIN codes. This technologically-advanced procedure adds an additional layer to reassuring that the information being reported corresponds to your securities.
 

Using FIRST is easy

Login to FIRST then drag and drop the files you want to publish and select where you want to distribute them

FIRST scans the individual ISIN codes in your documents. You can then schedule information to be published at a future date and time using the calendar function

After all the documents have been uploaded, review and manage your list, so that you are sure the reported information corresponds to your securities.

As soon as your payment method has been confirmed (you can choose to pay by credit card or to receive an invoice), all documents will be published and distributed as requested
