What is the EquatePlus online account?

If you decide to buy shares and you don’t want to sell them straight away, your shares will be held in your EquatePlus online account and will be visible from the Share Plan Account tile. The shares are held electronically instead of you holding a share certificate.

You can see your shares, buy, or sell by logging in. It’s free to hold shares in the account. When you buy or sell, you’ll pay a dealing charge of 0.235% (minimum of £17).

As a shareholder you’ll receive any dividends and can vote at our Annual General Meeting. You can choose to have your dividends paid directly into your bank account or automatically reinvested in more shares if you wish.

Full details of how to use the account can be found on EquatePlus (opens in a new tab).
