To transfer shares from another broker or from a share registry
Signed forms from your clients are required to facilitate the transfer of shares from another broker or from the share registry to Desktop Broker. Forms can be found under ‘My account” then “Forms” menu.
Please email the signed forms to adviser@bellpotteronline.com.au. We will endeavour to transfer stock into your client's account within 48 hours from receiving the signed request.
You must first determine whether the shares are held at another broker or at a share registry and complete the correct transfer request form.
For shares being transferred from another broker, use the Broker to Broker Transfer Request form.
It is imperative that your clients account name, designation and address at the current broker exactly match the account with us. If shares are currently held in a different name, you will need to complete an Off Market Transfer Request form (at a cost of $55).
For shares being transferred from a share registry, use the Issuer Sponsored Conversion Request form.
Your client’s account name and address at the share registry must exactly match the account with us. If shares are currently held in a different name, you will need to contact the share registry to change the details prior to submitting the Issuer Sponsored Conversion Request form with Desktop Broker.
You can confirm how the client account is registered with Desktop Broker, from the ‘Clients’ tab on top menu. Go to ‘Client A/C summaries’ and confirm the Registration details under the Trading Account Information section at the bottom of the page. The name, designation and address must match exactly letter for letter.
Once forms are complete, scan and email the signed request form to adviser@bellpotteronline.com.au.
To transfer my client's shares to someone else
Your client will need to complete and submit an Off Market Transfer Request form to change the shares they own from one name to another. Fees apply.
