Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures
The Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures ( CUSIP ) is similar to the German Securities Identification Number (WKN), an identification system for securities and a so-called National Securities Identifying Number . CUSIPs are nine-digit, alphanumeric identifiers used in North America. The system belongs to the American Bankers Association (ABA) and is operated by Standard & Poor's .
CUSIP Avox Business Reference Entity identifier (CABRE)
In spring 2009, Avox (a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group ) and CUSIP Global Services announced a collaboration to introduce a new universal company identification system called "CABRE" (CUSIP Avox Business Reference Entity identifier). This is to be managed and used worldwide for issuers , debtors and counterparties in the future. The CABRE ID will therefore be a 10-character code that is available to existing Avox and S & P / CUSIP customers in addition to the existing services.

The ISIN for American and Canadian companies consists of the country code, the CUSIP and a check digit. (Example: 91843L103 → US91843L1035).
