Going old school

Unfortunately, other platforms won't accept digital signatures. They require a form to be printed out and signed with an actual pen. Yes, we know.

Mind you, this is still a quicker transfer as all your stocks will come to Stake at once with your HIN.

Once you print, fill out and sign the form, please send it to , along with a valid copy of photo ID and a holding statement.

If you don't have a scanner, photos will do. Just note that the signature on the form will have to exactly match the signature on your ID. 

For a smooth HIN transfer, please ensure there are no pending trades with your outgoing broker, and get in touch to notify them about the move.

Sit back

After we get your email, the transfer should take around 2-5 business days to complete – though this will also depend on the platform you're leaving.

In the meantime, if you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to contact us.
