NEW YORK and TORONTO, Nov. 13,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Computershare Limited (ASX: CPU),
a leading financial services provider for the global securities
industry, today announced the launch of a new, enhanced version of
its Investor CentreTM website for North America. The free account-tool, used by
more than 2.5 million shareholders in the US and Canada, will now feature improved navigation,
simplified views of holdings and enhanced security measures.
"Continually investing in technology to improve the experience
of our clients and their investors is at the core of what we do at
Computershare," said Jay McHale,
President of Equity Services for Computershare US. "Computershare
began the process of updating the Investor Centre site by
conducting extensive research with existing site users."
The information that came from this research helped target the
primary needs of the shareholders who use the site – whether they
frequently log in to review holdings, or use it sparingly for tax
or other purposes.
"We wanted to make sure the investors who use the Investor
Centre site enjoy the same level of data security they've come to
expect from any financial services website, which is why we've
continued to enhance our security protocols," said Margot Jordan, Senior Vice President of Investor
Services for Computershare Canada. "At the same time, we wanted to
offer a user experience beyond the norm for financial services –
with clean design and more intuitive navigation."
Investors with holdings managed by Computershare can access the
website at www.computershare.com/investor.
