Verdict
EQ is the best fit for registry-led shareholder services because it runs the share register, dividend and proxy processing, and shareholder communications for UK and US issuers, with IR support alongside the registry.
What customers praise
Established registry, dividend, and proxy services plus shareholder communications suit issuers that want the register and IR support together.
What customers criticise
Like other transfer agents, its software is services-led, so it trails the modern IR platforms on self-serve CRM and targeting.
Best for
UK and US issuers that want share registry, shareholder services, and IR support from an established transfer agent.
