Shareholder perks

My experience of passing company perks to nominee holders is best described as ‘messy’. Every company and registrar requires different information to validate the underlying holders ownership. This can involve several calls, letters, emails and bespoke ‘certificates’ for you to display at your local garden centre to get your free plant pot - or whatever it is your share ownership grants you. It’s far from impossible it’s just time inefficient. From that perspective it’s a prime example of an out dated process that needs a technological solution. On the other hand spare a thought for your friendly back office Freetrade elves who have to operate this antiquated system. It’s likely their time could be better spent. That said we clearly don’t want to disadvantage anyone…so… let’s look at it… but not as a priority. Fair?
