Pershing LLC Business Continuity Plan

Pershing maintains a business continuity plan, including redundant data centers and alternate processing facilities, to address interruptions to our normal course of business.  These plans are reviewed annually and updated as necessary.  Our plans outline the actions Pershing will take in the event of a building, city-wide, or regional incident, including relocating technology and operational personnel to preassigned alternate regional facilities.  Technology data processing can also be switched to an alternate regional data center.

All Pershing operational facilities are equipped for resumption of business and are tested several times per year.  Our recovery time objective for business resumption, including those involving a relocation of personnel or technology, is four (4) hours.  This recovery objective may be negatively affected by the unavailability of external resources and circumstances beyond our control.

In the event your financial organization experiences a significant business interruption, Pershing may be contacted directly to process limited trade-related transactions, cash disbursements, and security transfers.  Instructions to Pershing must be in writing and transmitted via facsimile or postal service as follows:
