If your company has international shareholders, they can now receive their dividend and distribution payments faster, easier and securely in their choice of currency. Computershare’s International Currency Exchange (ICE), delivered through our partner Citi, is a payment service that provides an alternative to Canadian dollar payment cheques.

When your shareholders use the International Currency Exchange service, their payments are converted to their local currency prior to being sent, with competitive currency exchange rates for both large and small amounts. Receiving proceeds in a local currency makes electronic payments possible in more countries, and having cheques drawn on a local bank avoids the timely and costly “collection” process required for cashing Canadian dollar cheques.

For a small service fee of CA$15 for cheques and CA$10 for wires, your shareholders can enjoy the convenience of receiving their funds in their preferred local currency.

With International Currency Exchange, you can offer your shareholders:
