  1. I and my wife have 2 accounts with Computershare. Now we want to put our shares in Platinum with our Super Fund available for access
    How do I do this

    • Sorry but I haven’t had to try to do this, and since I’m just another ComputerShare User, I don’t have any info for you. If you give them a call, they should be able to help. I hope it goes well!

  2. I want to join computer shares as a individual account how can I accomplish this

    • If you, like me, have shares in a company that is managed by Computershare you can follow my article to see how it’s done. If you don’t already have shares, you need to look at opening a brokerage account at a company such as BMO InvestorLine, CIBC Investor’s Edge, RBC Direct Investing, etc. Or you may be able to purchase some shares directly from an individual and then register them with ComputerShare. Buying directly from an individual is not something I have personally done but I know some people do. There are “DRIP” investing clubs and so on to help with that. Sorry I can’t suggest any to try.

      I’m also sorry for the late reply to your question.

  3. I haven’t own a share in my life. Can you help me out? and how to get holder account number?

    Thanks for your support!

    • Unfortunately Computershare is for people who already own shares and need to register them. If you want to purchase shares in Canada, the most common thing to do is to set up an account at a discount brokerage. Examples of these companies are BMO InvestorLine, RBC Direct Investing, CIBC Investor’s Edge, etc. You can use Google to search for online brokerages. Sorry this isn’t more help.

  4. I would like to register and buy shares. How much is the minimum shares I could buy cost price?

    • Unfortunately you cannot buy shares directly through Computershare. It’s a service for registering shares you have already purchased elsewhere. Sorry!

  5. I just received a letter from Met Life Computershare and this the first letter I have received and I am not sure what this is ?

    • I’m not sure what your letter was about so I’m not sure why you received it. If you own shares in a company managed by Computershare, you sometimes will receive notices about annual meetings, reports and so on.

  6. How do I get my ex husband’s name off of my Walmart stock

    • Sorry but I really don’t know, or even know if you can. If it was me, I would phone the transfer agent and ask if it can be done.

  7. I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN UP FOR A CERTAIN COMPUTERSHARE PROGRAM! EVERY SITE I HAVE BEEN TO IS COMPLETELY COMPLICATED!

  8. PLEASE send me a copy of my account *** attached to an email to ***

    I have spent many many hours simply trying to see
    my own account. Maybe being 86 yrs old hasn’t helped. RRaymondAY

    • I am just a share owner, like you. I don’t work for ComputerShare. I agree that it is complicated and I’m sorry you are having trouble getting through to them.
