If you look at our new href="http://www.xignite.com/xBondMaster.asmx">corporate bond

master service, XigniteBondMaster, you'll

quickly see that you can use it to get information for over

125,000 U.S. corporate bonds, including issuer information,

maturity dates, coupon rates and so on. But you're not

likely to see one of the best features of the service until you

roll up your sleeves and start digging around in the data: the

ability to look up official CUSIP identifiers with remarkable

ease.

CUSIP identifiers are highly valued

throughout the industry as the de facto

standard for uniquely identifying over 9.1 million financial

instruments. And now you can easily look up CUSIPs for thousands

of corporate bonds using XigniteBondMaster. Interested in a

particular issue, but not sure what its CUSIP is? Try looking it

up by the href="http://www.xignite.com/xBondMaster.asmx?op=LookupBondsByIssuer">bond

issuer! Or just look it up by href="http://www.xignite.com/xBondMaster.asmx?op=LookupBondsByName">bond

name.

All CUSIP data comes from

CUSIP Global Services, an organization managed by Standard

& Poor's on behalf of the American Bankers Association

specifically to oversee the official set of CUSIP

identifiers.

You do need to have an agreement

in place with CUSIP Global Services in order to receive CUSIP

data, since this is highly valued data that must be licensed

first. But once you have an agreement in place, CUSIPs will

automatically start appearing in your XigniteBondMaster

outputs.
