DEPOSITING STOCK CERTIFICATES

To deposit stock certificates that are in your possession into your National Financial account, please fill out the back of the certificate, providing the following information:

bullet

Appoint National Financial (our clearing firm affiliate) as attorney to transfer the stock. 

bullet

Provide signature of all parties shown on the face of the certificate. Sign exactly as shown (If the name shown on the face is Jonathan J. Doe, signing as John Doe won't work).

bullet

Insert the date signed.

bullet

Insert your National Financial account number somewhere near the signature(s). There is no space provided specifically for this.

Once a certificate is received by National Financial it will be credited to your account in 3-4 business days. All certificates are checked for lost or stolen status with the transfer agent prior to crediting the account. As a further precaution, we recommend sending your certificates via express, insured or certified mail.

Safeguarding Your Stock Certificates (Certificates You Hold)

Your stock certificates are valuable documents and should be carefully safeguarded. In addition to the market value they represent, they are tangible evidence of your share of ownership in the issuing Corporation.

Transferring Stock

Most stock is transferred as a result of the sale of shares by one shareholder to another. Usually, a brokerage such as Capital Securities/National Fincanical handles such sales and purchases and arranges for the transfer of shares.  If the stock is already on deposit with National Finanical, there is nothing else to do.  If you have a physical stock certificate, you must properly endorse it and send it to National Finanical.

When all the above is completed, mail your letter of instruction, any supporting documents, and your certificate(s) by registered mail, return receipt requested, to:
