A Better Choice for the Environment
e-Delivery Helps Investors Conserve Natural Resources North Americans still consume more paper per capita – upwards of 500 lbs. annually – than anyone else on earth1 More than 40% of logged trees are used for paper, and for every ton of paper produced, two to four tons of trees are brought to the mill2 More than 30 million forested acres, an area about the size of Pennsylvania, are lost annually2 1 Environmental Paper Network.

Common Questions Q: An investor failed the identity verification process. Why? Investors can “fail” the identity verification process for a number of reasons: Answering questions incorrectly Starting a session without finishing “Timing out” of a session Closing a browser window In some cases, due to insufficient public information, an investor will be unable to verify his or her identity. In such cases, only the home office can set up the user ID 1 If offered by your financial organization 30

Common Questions Q: An investor is locked out during self-registration. Investors can be locked out for reasons tied to the security of the overall process They have attempted to complete the verification process more than four times in one week, whether they have previously passed or failed They have failed the verification process twice in a one week period Your home office can use Account Services, Client on Boarding (COB) or NPNX to establish e-delivery for an investor and update delivery preferences, after your firm has received authorization from that investor. Collect authorization by using Pershing’s User ID and Electronic Delivery Request form or by incorporating the appropriate language into your firm’s new accounts form. The form is available in the Material Catalog via Resources in NetX360. Q: How do I help the investor gain access? 1 If offered by your financial organization 31

Common Questions Q: An investor is locked out trying to complete self- registration. The password for this was created by the investor as part of the identity verification. It does not equal the home office password logic. Your firm is not able to reset the password if the investor has not completed self-registration. If the investor does lockout during this period, they will need to re-start the self-registration process. 1 If offered by your financial organization 32
