11870. Customer Account Transfer Contracts

(a) Responsibility to Expedite Customer's Request

(1) When a customer whose securities account is carried by a member (the "carrying member") wishes to transfer securities account assets, in whole or in specifically designated part, to another member (the "receiving member") and gives authorized instructions to the receiving member, both members must expedite and coordinate activities with respect to the transfer.

(2) If a customer desires to transfer a portion of his or her account outside of the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS), authorized alternate instructions should be transmitted to the carrying member indicating such intent and specifying the designated assets to be transferred. Although such transfers are not subject to the provisions of this Rule, members must expedite all authorized account asset transfers, whether through ACATS or via other means permissible under this Rule, and coordinate their activities with respect thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, the automated customer account transfer capabilities referred to in paragraph (m)(1) of this Rule shall be utilized for partial transfers.

(3) For purposes of this Rule, customer authorization pursuant to a transfer instruction could be the customer's actual signature, or an electronic signature in a format recognized as valid under federal law to conduct interstate commerce.

(b) Transfer Procedures

(1) Upon receipt from the customer of an authorized broker-to-broker transfer instruction form (“TIF”) to receive such customer's securities account assets in whole or in specifically designated part, from the carrying member, the receiving member must immediately submit such instruction to the carrying member by establishing such instruction in ACATS. The carrying member must, within one business day following the establishment of such account transfer instructions, or receipt of a TIF directly from the customer authorizing the transfer of assets in specifically designated part: (A) validate the transfer instruction to the receiving member (with an attachment reflecting all positions and money balances to be transferred as shown on its books); or (B) take exception to the transfer instruction for reasons other than securities positions or money balance discrepancies and advise the receiving member of the exception taken. The time frame(s) set forth in this paragraph will change, as determined from time-to-time in any publication, relating to the ACATS facility, by the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC).

(2) The carrying member and the receiving member must promptly resolve any exceptions taken to the transfer instruction.

(c) Transfer Instructions

(1) Securities account asset transfers accomplished pursuant to this Rule are subject to the following conditions, which the customer must be informed of, affirm, or authorize (as the case may be) through their inclusion in the transfer instruction the customer is required to authorize to initiate the account asset transfer:

(A) To the extent any account assets are not readily transferable, with or without penalties, such assets may not be transferred within the time frames required by this Rule.

(B) The customer will be contacted in writing by the carrying member, and/or by the receiving member, with respect to the disposition of nontransferable assets other than proprietary money market fund assets (if any), indicated in an instruction to transfer specifically designated account assets. (See paragraphs (c)(3) and (4) below for customer notification requirements pertaining to transfers of securities account assets in whole.)

(C) If securities accounts assets in whole, other than retirement plan account assets, are being transferred, the customer must affirm that he or she has destroyed or returned to the carrying member any credit/debit cards and/or unused checks issued in connection with the account.

(D) For purposes of this Rule, a "nontransferable asset" shall mean an asset that is incapable of being transferred from the carrying member to the receiving member because it is:

(i) an asset that is a proprietary product of the carrying member;

(ii) an asset that is a product of a third party (e.g., mutual fund/money market fund) with which the receiving member does not maintain the relationship or arrangement necessary to receive/carry the asset for the customer's account;

(iii) an asset that may not be received due to regulatory limitations on the scope of the receiving member's business;

(iv) an asset that is a bankrupt issue for which the carrying member does not possess (which shall be deemed to include possession at a securities depository for the carrying member's account) the proper denominations or quantity of shares necessary to effect delivery and no transfer agent is available to re-register the shares;

(v) an asset that is an issue for which the proper denominations cannot be obtained pursuant to governmental regulation or the issuance terms of the product (e.g., foreign securities, baby bonds, etc.);

(vi) limited partnership interests in retail accounts.

(E) The carrying member and the receiving member must promptly resolve and reverse any nontransferable assets that were not properly identified during validation. In all cases, each member shall promptly update its records and bookkeeping systems and notify the customer of the action taken.

(2) A proprietary product of the carrying member shall be deemed nontransferable unless the receiving member has agreed to accept transfer of the product. Upon receipt of the asset validation report, the receiving member shall designate any assets that are a product of a third party (e.g., mutual fund/money market fund) with which the receiving member does not maintain the relationship or arrangement necessary to receive/carry the asset for the customer's account. The carrying member, upon receipt of such designation, may treat such designated assets as nontransferable and refrain from transferring the designated assets.

(3) If securities account assets to be transferred in whole include any nontransferable assets that are proprietary products of the carrying member, the carrying member must provide the customer with a list of the specific assets and request, in writing and prior to or at the time of validation of the transfer instruction, further instructions from the customer with respect to the disposition of such assets. In particular, such request should provide, where applicable, the customer with the following alternative methods of disposition for nontransferable assets:

(A) Liquidation, with a specific indication of any redemption or other liquidation-related fees that may result from such liquidation and that those fees may be deducted from the money balance due the customer and that any remaining balance will be distributed to the customer, including the method by which it will be so distributed.

(B) Retention by the carrying member for the customer's benefit.

(C) Transfer, physically and directly, in the customer's name to the customer.

(4) If securities account assets to be transferred in whole include any nontransferable assets that the receiving member has designated as assets that are a product of a third party (e.g., mutual fund/money market fund) with which the receiving member does not maintain the relationship or arrangement necessary to receive/carry the asset for the customer's account, the receiving member must provide the customer with a list of the specific assets and request, in writing and prior to the time it makes such designation, further instructions from the customer with respect to the disposition of such assets. In particular, such request should, where applicable, provide the customer with the following alternative methods of disposition for nontransferable assets:

(A) Liquidation, with a specific indication of any redemption or other liquidation-related fees that may result from such liquidation and that those fees may be deducted from the money balance due the customer. The indication must also refer the customer to the fund prospectus or to their registered representative at the carrying firm for specific details regarding any such fees.

(B) Retention by the carrying member for the customer's benefit.

(C) Shipment, physically and directly, in the customer's name to the customer.

(D) Transfer to the third party that is the original source of the product, for credit to an account opened by the customer with that third party.

(5) If the customer has authorized liquidation or transfer of assets deemed to be nontransferable, the carrying member must distribute the resulting money balance to the customer or initiate the transfer within five (5) business days following receipt of the customer's disposition instructions.

(6) With respect to transfers of retirement plan securities account assets, the customer authorizes the custodian/trustee for the account:

(A) to deduct any outstanding fees due the custodian/trustee from the credit balance in the account, or

(B) if the account does not contain a credit balance, or if the credit balance in the account is insufficient to satisfy any outstanding fees due the custodian/trustee, to liquidate assets in the account to the extent necessary to satisfy any outstanding fees due the custodian/trustee.

(d) Validation of Transfer Instructions

(1) Upon validation of an instruction to transfer securities account assets in whole, a carrying member must "freeze" the account to be transferred, i.e., all open orders, with the exception of option positions that expire within seven (7) business days, must be canceled and no new orders may be taken.

(2) A carrying member may not take exception to a transfer instruction, and therefore deny validation of the transfer instruction, because of a dispute over securities positions or the money balance in the account to be transferred. Such alleged discrepancies notwithstanding, the carrying member must transfer the securities positions and/or money balance reflected on its books for the account.

(3) A carrying member may take exception to a transfer instruction only if:

(A) Additional documentation is required (e.g., legal documents such as death or marriage certificate);

(B) the account is "flat" and reflects no transferable assets;

(C) the account number is invalid (i.e., the account number is not on the carrying member's books); however, if the carrying member has changed the account number for purposes of internally reassigning the account to another broker or account executive, it is the responsibility of the carrying firm to track the changed account number, and such reassigned account number shall not be considered invalid for purposes of fulfilling a transfer instruction.

(D) it is a duplicate request;

(E) it violates the member's credit policy;

(F) it contains unrecognized residual credit assets (receiving member cannot identify customer);

(G) the customer rescinds the instruction (e.g., the customer has submitted written request to cancel transfer);

(H) there is a mismatch of the Social Security number/Tax ID (e.g., the number on the transfer instruction does not correspond to that on the carrying member's records);

(I) the account title on the transfer instruction does not match that on the carrying member's records;

(J) the account type on the transfer instruction does not correspond to that on the carrying member's records;

(K) the transfer instruction is missing or contains an improper authorization (e.g., TIF requires an additional customer authorization or successor custodian's acceptance authorization or custodial approval); or

(L) the customer has taken possession of the assets in the account (e.g., the account assets in question have been transferred directly to the customer).

(4) If a carrying member takes exception to a transfer instruction because the account is "flat," as provided in subparagraph (3)(B) above, the receiving member may re-submit the transfer instruction only if the most recent customer statement is attached.

(5)(A) Upon validation of an instruction to transfer securities account assets in whole or in specifically designated part, the carrying member must return the transfer instruction to the receiving member with an attachment indicating all securities positions, safekeeping positions, and money balances to be transferred as shown on the books of the carrying member. Except as hereinafter provided, the attachment must include a then-current market value for all assets so indicated. If a then-current market value for an asset cannot be determined (e.g., a limited partnership interest), the asset must be valued at original cost. However, delayed delivery assets (as defined in paragraph (j)(2) of this Rule), nontransferable assets, and assets in transfer to the customer, i.e., in possession of the transfer agent at the time of receipt of the transfer instruction by the carrying member for shipment, physically and directly to the customer, need not be valued, although the "delayed delivery," "nontransferable," or "in-transfer" status, respectively, of such assets must be indicated on the attachment.

(B) For purposes of this Rule, a "safekeeping position" shall mean any security held by a carrying member in the name of the customer. Safekeeping positions shall also include securities that are unendorsed or have a stock/bond power attached thereto.

(6) Upon validation of an instruction to transfer securities account assets in whole or in specifically designated part, the carrying member must indicate on the instruction, or by attachment, any initial margin calls, as required by Regulation T, that are outstanding as of the date of validation with respect to the account assets to be transferred.

(7) A carrying member must provide the following description, at a minimum, as asset data with respect to any municipal securities positions to be transferred that have not been assigned a CUSIP number:

(A) name of the issuer;

(B) interest rate and dated date;

(C) maturity date and put date, if applicable, and if the securities are limited tax, subject to redemption prior to maturity (callable), or revenue bonds; an indication to such effect, including in the case of revenue bonds, the type of revenue, if necessary for a materially complete description of the securities; and

(D) if necessary for a materially complete description of the securities, the name of any company or other person in addition to the issuer obligated, directly or indirectly, with respect to debt service, or if there is more than one such obligor, the statement "multiple obligors" may be shown.

(8) After validation of the transfer instruction by the carrying member, a receiving member may reject a transfer of account assets in whole only if the account is not in compliance with the receiving member's credit policies or minimum asset requirements. (A receiving member may deem an account not in compliance with Regulation T requirements as not in compliance with its credit policies.) A receiving member, however, may only reject the entire account for such reasons; it may not reject only a portion of the account assets (e.g., the particular assets not in compliance with the member's credit policies or minimum asset requirement) while accepting the remainder.

(e) Completion of the Transfer

Within three business days following the validation of a transfer instruction, the carrying member must complete the transfer of the customer's security account assets to the receiving member. The receiving member and the carrying member must immediately establish fail-to-receive and fail-to-deliver contracts at then-current market values upon their respective books of account against the long/short positions, including options, that have not been delivered/received and the receiving/carrying member must debit/credit the related money amount. The customer's security account assets shall thereupon be deemed transferred. The time frame(s) set forth in this paragraph will change, as determined from time-to-time in any publication, relating to the ACATS facility, by the NSCC.

(f) Fail Contracts Established

(1) Any fail contracts resulting from this securities account asset transfer procedure shall be included in a member's fail file and, not later than 10 business days following the date delivery was due, the member shall take steps to obtain physical possession or control of securities so failed to receive by initiating a buy-in procedure or otherwise; provided, that with respect to the following types of securities or instruments, not later than 30 business days following the date delivery was due, the member shall take steps to obtain physical possession or control of securities so failed to receive by initiating a buy-in procedure or otherwise:

(A) banker's acceptances;

(B) bond anticipation notes;

(C) certificates of deposit;

(D) commercial paper;

(E) FMAC certificates;

(F) FNMA certificates;

(G) foreign securities;

(H) GNMA certificates;

(I) limited partnership interests;

(J) municipal bonds;

(K) mutual fund shares (transferable);

(L) revenue anticipation notes;

(M) SBA certificates; and

(N) tax anticipation notes.

(2) A carrying member may not reject ("DK") a fail contract, including a Receive/Deliver Instruction generated by an automated customer account transfer system, in connection with assets in an account that has been transferred but which assets have not been delivered to the receiving member.

(3) All fail contracts established pursuant to the requirements of this Rule shall be clearly marked or captioned as such. This paragraph will not apply if a fail contract participates in a repricing and reconfirmation service offered by a registered clearing agency.

(4) All fail contracts required to be established on safekeeping positions must be so indicated.

(5) Open fail contracts established pursuant to the requirements of this Rule shall be marked-to-market regularly.

(6) Nontransferable assets and in the process of being transferred directly to the customer are exempt from the requirement in paragraph (e) of this Rule.

(7) Members may agree to close out fail contracts established pursuant to the requirements of this Rule through the delivery of securities that are substantially comparable to those owed with the prior consent of the customer.

(8) A receiving member shall reject a delivery of a security that cannot be deemed a safekeeping position against a fail contract as such.

(9) A receiving member must deem receipt of a duly executed limited partnership change of trustee form, with respect to limited partnership interests, or a mutual fund re-registration form, with respect to mutual fund shares, as adequate delivery for purposes of transferring such assets pursuant to this Rule. With respect to mutual fund shares, a receiving member must deem receipt of a mutual fund re-registration form evidencing book-entry shares in an account as adequate delivery for purposes of transferring such shares, provided the registration form contains the customer's new account number at the fund. The carrying member shall be responsible for obtaining this number and entering it on the form prior to submission to the receiving member. This provision is applicable to book-entry shares and is not intended to preclude the delivery of physical certificates.

(g) Prompt Resolution of Discrepancies

(1) Any discrepancies relating to positions or money balances that exist or occur after transfer of a customer's securities account assets must be resolved promptly.

(2) The carrying member must promptly distribute to the receiving member any transferrable assets that accrue to the account after the transfer of a customer's securities account has been effected.

(3) When a member receives a claim notice relating to a securities account asset transfer, the member must resolve the claim within five (5) business days from receipt of such claim or take exception to the claiming member by setting forth specific reasons for denying the claim.

(h) Close-Out Procedures

A valued fail contract in a security, for which there are no established close-out procedures, and which has not been completed by the carrying member, may be closed by the receiving member not sooner than the third business day following the date delivery was due, in accordance with the following procedure:

(1) Written notice shall be delivered to the carrying member at its office not later than 12:00 noon, Eastern Time (ET), two business days preceding the execution of the proposed "close-out."

(2)(A) Every notice of "close-out" shall state the settlement date, the quantity and contract price of the securities covered by said contract, and shall state further that unless delivery is effected at or before a certain specified time, which may not be prior to 3:00 p.m. ET, the security may be "closed-out" on the date specified for the account of the carrying member.

(B) Original notices may only be issued pursuant to fail contracts marked or captioned as fails established pursuant to paragraph (f)(3) of this Rule.

(C) Notice may be redelivered immediately to another member from whom the securities involved are due in the form of a re-transmitted notice. A re-transmitted notice must be delivered to subsequent members not later than 12:00 noon ET one business day preceding the original date of execution of the proposed close-out.

(D) Re-transmitted notices may be issued against a fail contract regardless of its origin.

(3)(A) On failure of the carrying member to effect delivery in accordance with the notice, or to obtain a stay as hereinafter provided, the receiving member may close the contract by purchasing the securities necessary to complete the contract. Such execution will also operate to close-out all contracts covered under re-transmitted notices.

(B) The party executing the "close-out" shall immediately upon execution, but not later than 6:00 p.m. ET on the date of the execution of such “close-out,” notify the member for whose account the securities were bought as to the quantity purchased and the price paid. Such notification shall be in written or electronic form having immediate receipt capabilities. If a medium with immediate receipt capabilities is not available, the telephone shall be used for the purpose of same day notification, and written or similar electronic notification having next day receipt capabilities must be sent out simultaneously. In either case formal confirmation of purchase along with a billing or payment (depending upon which is applicable) shall be forwarded as promptly as possible after the execution of the "close-out." Notification of the execution of the "close-out" shall be given to succeeding members to whom a re-transmitted notice was issued using the same procedures stated herein.

(C) If prior to the closing of a contract on which a "close-out" notice has been given, the receiving member receives from the carrying member written notice stating that the securities, except for those securities due from a depository, are (i) in transfer; (ii) in transit; (iii) being shipped that day; (iv) due from a depository, and include the certificate numbers; then the receiving member must extend the execution date of the "close-out" for a period of seven (7) calendar days from the date delivery was due under the "close-out."

(4) In the event that a "close-out" is not completed on the day specified in the notice, said notice shall expire at the close of business on the day specified in the notice, or if extended, at the close of business on the last day of the extension.

(i) Sell-Out Procedures

(1) Upon failure of the receiving member to accept delivery in accordance with the terms of the contract, and lacking a (A) properly executed Uniform Reclamation Form; (B) depository generated rejection advice; or (C) valid Reversal Form; the carrying member may, without notice, "sell-out" in the best available market, for the liability of the party in default, all or any part of the securities due or deliverable under the contract.

(2) The party executing a "sell-out" as prescribed above shall notify, no later than 6:00 p.m. ET on the day of execution, the member, for whose account and liability such securities were sold, of the quantity sold and the price received. Such notification shall be in written or electronic form having immediate receipt capabilities. A formal confirmation of such sale shall be forwarded as promptly as possible after the execution of the "sell-out."

(j) Exemptions

(1) Pursuant to the Rule 9600 Series, FINRA may exempt from the provisions of this Rule, either unconditionally or on specified terms and conditions, (A) any member or (B) any type of account, security or financial instrument.

(2) The following assets are deemed subject to delayed delivery and are exempt from paragraph (e) of this Rule:

(A) insurance policies (annuities);

(B) stripped coupons;

(C) when-issued or when-distributed securities.

(3) Zero value fail-to-receive and fail-to-deliver instructions shall be generated for the assets specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this Rule.

(k) Retirement Plan Securities Accounts

(1) It is the responsibility of the receiving member to obtain the approval of its custodian/trustee accepting a customer's retirement plan securities account before submitting a transfer instruction for such account assets to the carrying member or its custodian/trustee to facilitate transfer of the account assets.

(2) If, with respect to the transfer of a retirement plan securities account assets, outstanding fees are due the custodian/trustee for the account, such fees must be deducted from the credit balance in the account or, if the account does not contain a credit balance or if the credit balance is insufficient to satisfy such fees, assets in the account must be liquidated to the extent necessary to satisfy such fees. If liquidation of assets in the account is not practicable, such fees must then be transferred to and accepted by the receiving member as a debit item with the account.

(l) Securities Account

For the purposes of this Rule, the term "securities account" shall be deemed to include any and all of the account's money market fund positions or the redemption value thereof.

(m) Participant in a Registered Clearing Agency

(1) When both the carrying member and the receiving member are participants in a registered clearing agency having automated customer securities account asset transfer capabilities and are eligible to use such capabilities, the securities account asset transfer procedure, including the establishing and closing out of fail contracts, must be accomplished in accordance with the provisions of this Rule and pursuant to the rules of and through such registered clearing agency with the exception of specifically designated assets transferred pursuant to the submittal of a customer's authorized alternate instructions to the carrying member.

(2) When such registered clearing agency has the capability to transfer mutual fund positions or to employ functionalities including Partial Transfer Receive (PTR), Partial Transfer Delivery (PTD), Fail Reversal, Mutual Fund Fail Cleanup, or Reclaim Processing, such capability must be utilized with the exception of specifically designated assets transferred pursuant to the submittal of a customer's authorized alternate instructions to the carrying member.

(3) When securities account assets are transferred in whole and such registered clearing agency has the capability to transfer residual credit positions (both cash and securities) that have accrued to an account after the account has been transferred (residual credit processing), such capability must be utilized for transferring residual credit positions from the carrying member to the receiving member.

(4) When both the carrying member and the receiving member are participants in a registered clearing agency having automated customer securities account asset transfer capabilities with a facility permitting electronic transmittal of customer account asset transfer instructions, such facilities shall be used in accordance with the following:

(A) members using such facilities shall execute an agreement designated by the Committee specifying the rights, obligations and liabilities of all participants in or users of such facilities;

(B) customer account transfer instructions shall be transmitted in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the registered clearing agency;

(C) the transmittal of a transfer request through such electronic facilities shall constitute a representation by the receiving member that it has received a properly executed TIF or other actual authority to receive the customer's securities and funds;

(D) transfer instructions transmitted through such facilities shall contain the information necessary for the clearing agency and the carrying member to respond to the transfer instruction as may be specified by this Rule and the clearing agency; and

(E) non-standard ACAT processing, such as Partial Transfer Receives (PTR), Partial Transfer Deliver (PTD) Fail Reversal, and reclaim processing shall be transmitted through such facilities, if the facility permits.

(5) For purposes of this Rule, the term "registered clearing agency'' shall be deemed to be a clearing agency as defined in the Exchange Act and registered in accordance with the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Rule, the term “participant in a registered clearing agency” shall mean a member of a registered clearing agency that is eligible to make use of the agency's automated customer securities account transfer capabilities.

(n) Transfers Accomplished Ex-Clearing

(1) If one or both of the members processing a customer account transfer pursuant to this Rule is not a member of a registered clearing agency, the fail-to-receive and fail-to-deliver contracts required to be established pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Rule must be established outside a clearing corporation on an "ex-clearing house" basis. Similarly, settlement of the fail contracts and any close-out executions must be made "ex-clearing house."

(2) Each member (including members that do not utilize automated customer securities account asset transfer facilities) is required, for a minimum period of six (6) months after the transfer of securities account assets in whole is completed, to transfer credit balances (both cash and securities) that occur in such transferred account assets within (10) ten business days after the credit balances accrue to the account.
