It is so easy to check. For example, Macquarie Bank, not often quoted as a model establishment, send me an email within seconds whenever I make a trivial payment through their 'Pay anyone' EFT facility. It doesn't even cost them anythng – the report is automatic. It is little short of criminal that Computershare fail to do this with a multi-million dollar transfer, and seemingly want to be compelled to do so by the regulators before they install this very simple common-sense procedure.

A quadrillion phone calls, emails, and pleadings to Computershare can't get them to reveal the SRN I know I have and am entitled to. You have to know your SRN to retrieve your SRN. As a result dividends remain unbanked, shareholder notices undelivered. Attempts to rectify it with the company I hold shares with just send me back to Computershare where the misery starts all over again. This explains why my SRN will be know the the company, the register but not the shareholder. Due to a postie failing to deliver mail, I can no longer obtain my SRN for shares I hold in a company.
