Payment Processing
We manage the timely distribution of coupon and dividend payments to investors on behalf of the issuer. All payments and distributions can be executed in crypto.

We ensure that all coupon, dividend and interest payments are executed accurately and on schedule. Working directly with custodians and settlement systems, we manage the end-to-end payment cycle so issuers can rely on seamless investor servicing without operational delays or administrative complexity.

In addition to traditional currencies, we can distribute payments in digital assets for issuers integrating blockchain- or token-based strategies. This flexibility allows structures to align with investor preferences while maintaining robust operational controls and regulatory compliance across both fiat and crypto rails.

All outgoing cashflows are reconciled against settlement data, custodial records, and investor positions. We deliver clear reporting to issuers, ensuring transparency over every distribution event. This reduces operational risk and provides a clean audit trail for both internal and external oversight.

Intermediary
We act an intermediary between the issuer and investors, maintaining smooth communication and execution of obligations.

We serve as a neutral interface between issuer and investors, handling notifications, information flows, payment confirmations, and essential updates. This central coordination ensures clarity for all stakeholders and reduces administrative burden on issuers, especially for international investor bases or multi-jurisdictional placements.

We monitor all obligations linked to the security and ensure each event—whether a corporate action or scheduled payment is executed smoothly. ISP coordinates with custodians, trading venues, and settlement systems to ensure that the security behaves correctly across its entire lifecycle.

As a Swiss Paying Agent with extensive partner networks, we integrate with clearing houses, CSDs, settlement platforms, and trading venues. This ensures the security is fully functional, reachable, and operationally aligned with market standards across global financial infrastructure.

KYC and AML
We implement Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures to prevent financial misconduct and ensure regulatory compliance.

We conduct Know Your Customer checks to verify identities and ensure compliance with Swiss and international regulations. This includes document collection, screening and approval processes designed to keep both issuers and investors protected from onboarding risks.

We apply Anti-Money Laundering procedures throughout the lifecycle of the security—monitoring transactions, screening for red flags and ensuring all financial flows meet regulatory standards. ISP’s framework reduces compliance risk and supports clean operational governance for issuers.

We prepare and maintain all compliance-relevant documentation related to investor onboarding, cashflows, and ongoing monitoring. Reports are structured to meet regulatory expectations, supporting future audits or supervisory reviews without administrative strain for the issuer.

Corporate Actions
We set up your Swiss ISIN in SIX SIS and make it clearable. As paying agent, we also manage corporate actions such as redemptions, early repayments, tender offers, and restructuring events.

We set up Swiss ISINs in SIX SIS and ensure securities are fully clearable through the appropriate infrastructure. This step is essential for interoperability with trading, custody and settlement systems, enabling smooth market access for the security.

We manage scheduled redemptions, early repayment events or partial buybacks with precision. We ensure that terms are correctly executed, investors receive accurate payments, and all documentation and notifications align with regulatory and contractual requirements.

For more complex actions - such as investor tenders, restructuring, or amendments - we coordinate the full operational process, ensuring clear communication, accurate execution and timely settlement. Our role helps issuers navigate sensitive corporate events with confidence and clarity.

In cases of refinancing, covenant changes or strategic adjustments, we manage the operational aspects of restructuring events. We ensure compliant execution and maintain investor transparency, preserving orderly market behavior even during complex transitions.
