Global Custodial Services
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) seeks a global custodian to hold a wide variety of securities, as it cannot have an account with any financial market infrastructure company. The custodian will provide global custodial services, settle securities transactions, and support financial reporting and compliance. Offerors must detail their custody service structure, including direct versus indirect country operations, and list emerging markets where they operate. The response should also specify the types of securities they can house, the fee structure (fixed or asset-dependent), and relevant experience with development banks or similar institutions. No specific budget, submission timeline, or performance location is mentioned in the description.
