Your Questions Answered
1. Will there be consequences if I don’t register?
No serious consequences.
You are not forced to register.
However, if you don’t register:
You may miss updates about dividends
You may not easily track your shares
You may need to visit registrar physically for some requests
ShareholderLive is mainly for convenience, not compulsory.
2. Will it affect receiving your dividend?
No — registering is NOT required to receive dividends.
Your dividend depends on:
Your CSCS account
Your e-dividend mandate
Your bank details
Not ShareholdersLive.
However, ShareholdersLive helps you:
Track dividend history
Confirm payment status
Fix issues quickly
So it’s helpful — but not required.
3. Why should you subscribe to ShareholdersLive?
Here are the real benefits:
What ShareholdersLive lets you do
Track your share portfolio
Check dividend history
Update bank details
Request statements
Receive notifications
Attend AGMs online
Monitor investment value in real time
Basically, it’s like mobile banking — but for your shares.
