Book-Entry Securities

    0.10 sec.
Book-Entry Securities
Securities that are recorded in electronic records called book entries rather than as paper certificates.

Also referred to as "book-entry receipt."

Notes:
Ownership of U.S. government book-entry securities is transferred over fedwire.

Book-entry securities
Securities which are not represented by paper certificates but are maintained in computerized records at the Fed in the names of member banks, which in turn keep computer records of the securities they own as well as those they are holding for customers. In the case of other securities where a book-entry has developed, certificates reside in a central clearinghouse or are held by another agent. These securities do not move from holder to holder.
