To handle the data flows underlying this business, DTCC operates the largest, electronically linked wholesale financial infrastructure in the world. This highly reliable and secure network links virtually all broker/dealers, banks, mutual funds, major life insurance companies and other financial intermediaries.

Incorporated in October 1996, the National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) is a non-profit affiliate of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). NIPR developed and implemented the Producer Database (PDB) and the NIPR Gateway suite of on-line products for the insurance industry including Appointments and Terminations, Non-Resident Licensing, Non-Resident Licensing Renewals and other electronic reporting tools to support the Producer Licensing process. The PDB is an electronic database consisting of licensing and regulatory information relating to insurance agents and brokers (producers) and companies, which contains information from participating state regulatory licensing systems and brings it into a common repository of producer information.
Sircon was one of the initial NIPR Resellers in 1998 and plays a unique role in the insurance regulatory marketplace, offering NIPR services to both industry and regulators. In 2010, Sircon and NIPR established a long-term agreement to expand the number of licensing transaction types available through NIPR. With a large and growing integrated transaction volume, Sircon has enjoyed a long and successful partnership with NIPR that has grown to cover all state regulatory entities.
