What is a HIN?
A Holder Identification Number identifies a CHESS-sponsored holder. It links the holdings recorded on the CHESS subregister with the holder's registration details.

How does a broker transfer work?
A broker-to-broker transfer moves eligible holdings between sponsoring participants. Matching account details are important, and open options positions may require separate handling before the move.
General information only. Transfer requirements depend on the brokers, registration details, holdings and open positions involved.
