Our clearing firm RBC backs up our important records in a geographically separate area While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, our clearing firm has advised us that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within four hours. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period. In addition, Ministry Partners Securities, LLC also backs up its systems on its server daily.
