Since 2017, Computershare has reconnected more than 130 000 shareholders with their unclaimed dividends, averaging monthly payouts of R20 million every month.
Driven by innovation, we have invested in cutting-edge digital platforms over the past two years to create a seamless shareholder experience. With the launch of our new digital platforms in January 2025, shareholders now enjoy real-time verification, instant updates to shareholder details, and faster, more efficient payment processes. Already in 2025, more than 18 000 shareholders have benefited with payouts totaling over R192 million.
Shareholders become untraceable due to unreported changes in contact or personal details after marriage or other legal events without informing the relevant issuers. In cases of death, holdings may be overlooked in the estate, leaving executors unaware of rightful entitlements.
Despite resounding success, billions in dividends remain unclaimed. Unclaimed assets remain a priority for Computershare and our clients, and through digital innovation, customised solutions and legacy account recovery projects, Computershare continues to help issuers reconnect “lost” shareholders with their unclaimed dividends.
At Computershare we remain committed to reducing unclaimed assets, enhancing governance, and ensuring shareholders receive what is rightfully theirs.
