Innovative Technology

With the ability to access your account online, you can view shareholder reports in real-time with the option to sort, search, export, and update data. Additionally, you can perform shareholder address updates, issuance requests, and manage your proxy campaign from start to finish. Shareholders, who sign up for internet account access, are able to view holdings and make updates to their account.

Fast Turnaround Times

For several years, the SEC and other regulators have required routine stock transfers to be processed within three business days. At Colonial, we went a step further by creating a one business day turnaround policy to ensure that our customers? investments weren?t negatively affected by the processing timelines allotted by the SEC. It is our goal and commitment to provide immediate turnaround on all requests, whether it is a stock transfer, issuance, or something else.

We are able to transition and setup your company in a timely manner so that you don?t see any interruptions in your securities processing or trading. Our experts will import your shareholder data into our systems within one business day of receipt and guide you through each step of the setup process.
