Anyone successfully changed their share certificate in to electronic shares yet - Watford any success? It's pathetic in 2014 that this system is not entirely electronic and borderless. Click click click, fill out my email - and that should be it.


So, would appear E*TRADE and commsec are a bunch of wank sticks. Hardly international brokers... false advertising.... They will accept a transfer from another broker, they will let you buy. But they will not dematerialise your certificate in to electronic format. They certainly misled me 2 months ago when I asked and was told they would be able to accept my igas shares - and I apologise if I misled anyone here. Looks like I have to open another trading account with another broker. What a waste of an hour of my life on a Friday afternoon.


Phillip Capital will directly take your share certificate - If you have an account with them - good for you. If not - well you can open one. (I don't know them from a hole in the ground, but they seem to be able to do it)
