“Congratulations to The Derivatives Service Bureau on their success as the Best Standards Solution for Data Management in the inaugural Data Management Insight Awards USA 2022. These awards were voted for by our Data Management Insight community who are seeking to highlight data management solutions that have successfully improved firms’ abilities to manage, control, analyse and gain insight from ever-growing volumes of data across global capital markets. In a highly competitive marketplace this prestigious award represents an admirable achievement,” said Angela Wilbraham, CEO of A-Team Group, which hosts the Data Management Insight Awards USA.

About ANNA

The Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) is a global member association seeking to foster standardisation within the financial industry by upholding the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) principles and by promoting ISIN, FISN and CFI codes for financial instruments. This is achieved through ongoing, collaborative work with market participants, regulators and other standards bodies.

Under ANNA’s stewardship, the role of the ISIN in enabling global financial communications has been established worldwide. Founded in 1992 by 22 numbering agencies, today ANNA’s membership continues to grow, with more than 120 global members and partners allocating ISIN, FISN and CFI codes on behalf of their local jurisdictions. By putting in place rigorous governance around the development, allocation and sharing of ISIN, FISN and CFI codes, ANNA helps facilitate open, transparent markets diminishing barriers to access, while protecting the integrity of the standards. As a result, ISIN has become the recognised global standard for unique identification for all types of financial and referential instruments, helping to connect and protect global markets.

In addition, ANNA has established the Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB), a fully automated global numbering agency to meet the specific operational and regulatory requirements of the over-the-counter derivatives markets.
