It operates a settlement system, allowing trades that have been agreed to be settled.It allows shareholders and bondholders to hold assets in a dematerialised, i.e. electronic, form, rather than holding physical share certificates. CREST also serves a number of other important functions, such as assisting in the payments of dividends to shareholders. CREST is also an "Electronic Trade Confirmation System" ("ETC") (using TRAX). When parties to a transaction make a deal, they both electronically confirm their sides of the transaction via file transfer. Both parties are required to submit confirmation details to CREST. In the event that transaction details do not match, CREST will highlight the issues and ensure that the problems are resolved as soon as is practicable.
