On request, we can transfer shares from one Sharesies account to another Sharesies account, if both accounts are based in New Zealand and meet a set of compliance requirements. We can’t transfer managed fund units between Sharesies accounts, transfer shares from an NZ Sharesies account to an AU Sharesies account (or vice versa), or transfer money between Sharesies accounts.
A fee applies for share transfers. You’ll need to ensure there is enough money in your Wallet to cover the fee, in order for us to process your share transfer request. We will deduct the fee from your Wallet once the transfer is complete.
