who is your banker? the problem i have is that my shares are held by the same bank.so if i were to change bank,i will have to change CDS account too which is a tedious process.
If the shares are held in YOUR name e.g. Hisa Ebenyo then you have a UNIQUE numbers that the CDSC assigned you.
Your dividend can go to ANY bank YOU determine it should go to. There's a CDS 1 form you should fill out and then fill in the bank details. Take the form back to your CDA [your broker] and they should process it. Make sure you keep one copy. Make sure you have a copy that has been stamped by the CDA.
1) If your bank/broker acts funny, make sure you enquire with CDSC about the change-over. You can also write to CDSC about the requested change.
2) If you want to, you can even MOVE your shares to another broker which is NOT affiliated with your bank. I prefer that so if there is any monkey business at/by the bank or broker, my shares or cash are safe.
3) If your bank/broker is who I think it is... I advise you get a new broker - ask Wazuans for advice - who can't access your bank account nor can the bank access your shares!
