I have shares with CommSec share trading account. Can I move them over to a different bank/share trading account? If so, which are the more ethical banks that have share trading accounts?
Hello Jo,
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, you can transfer your shares from Commsec to a different platform. You can do this through an off-market or online transfer. According to our guide, to transfer your shares into another trading platform, you need to complete a Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) sponsorship form that will allow you to transfer your existing holdings from a certain issuer or broker to another sponsoring participant.
Furthermore, please refer to this page to compare share trading platforms. Please read through the guide and after comparing, please click the Go to Site button. Please make sure that you’ve read the relevant T&Cs or PDS of this account to help consider whether the product is right for you.
