Nth-party service provider
Supply chain - suppliers - financial services - third-party service providers - Financial Stability Board (FSB).
As defined by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), an nth-party service provider is part of a third-party service provider’s supply chain and supports the ultimate delivery of services to one or more financial institutions.
In turn, a third-party service provider is one that provides services to one or more financial institutions under a third-party service relationship.
"Nth-party service providers may be referred to as sub-contractors, sub-outsourced service providers or indirect service providers.
A fourth-party service provider provides services to one or more third-party service providers, and this concept can be further extended into nth-party service providers."
