UPI Legal Terms and Conditions Consultation

2023 DSB Main Terms and Policies (together the 'Agreement')

The Final Report on the DSB Legal Terms and Conditions consultation as well as the proposed draft 2023 DSB Main Terms and Policies, collectively known as the ‘Agreement’, were published on 12 April 2022.The changes are primarily the result of the requirement to incorporate provisions for the UPI Service into the legal documentation and policies. A summary of industry feedback received on the consultation paper as well as the legal provisions and associated mechanisms to be taken forward with respect to DSB legal documentation are outlined in the DSB Legal Terms and Conditions Final Report.

The UPI Service will be incorporated into the existing DSB legal framework that is utilized for the OTC ISIN Service, such that there is a Common Agreement. The revisions to the legal documentation are largely structural and process related to ensure that they are fit-for-purpose for both the OTC ISIN and UPI Services. They affect the way in which User’s contract with the DSB and the way in which the resulting agreements are documented.

To aid existing Users of the OTC ISIN Service, a Summary of Amendments document has been produced to outline changes compared to the existing Agreement. Existing OTC ISIN Users have been transitioned to the new document structure, via a Variation Notice. The Variation Notice and details of the transition were provided to each user who has a DSB Access and Usage Agreement on 28 September 2022.

The consultation closed on 2nd September 2022.

The final 2023 DSB Agreement and the associated Policies were published on 28th September 2022.
