Updating of Account Particulars
- How do I change my particulars?
If you are an individual depositor, you have the option either to access Bursa Anywhere or approach your ADA/stockbroking company to submit the update of account particulars to Bursa Depository.
Update of personal particulars via Bursa Anywhere:
- Name;
- Race;
- Nationality;
- Registered address;
- Correspondence address;
- Home telephone number; and
- Bank account number to receive cash entitlements with relevant supporting documents (if applicable).
Update of personal particulars at the ADA/stockbroking company’s office:
- (Malaysian National Registration Identity Card (“NRIC”);
- Email address; and
- Handphone number.
Any update requests by individual depositor through Bursa Anywhere will be submitted to the depositor’s ADA/stockbroking company for verification before such information are updated in CDS.
Alternatively, you need to complete the CDS Account Form for any updating of particulars and submit it to your ADA/stockbroking company for further processing.
If you are a corporate investor, you must complete the CDS Account Form and attach supporting documents (if applicable) to the ADA/stockbroking company who will reflect the updates in CDS upon verification.
- What should I do if I wish to change/ update my signature?
Whether you are an individual or corporate investor, you are required to submit an official letter expressing your intention of updating the signature to your respective ADA/stockbroking company.
For an individual investor, it requires you to be present before the ADA/stockbroking company and to bring along the official letter expressing the intention of updating the signature.
The letter should contain the following:
- The CDS account number;
- The "old" and the "new" signature;
- The "new" signature's effective date of use.
For a corporate investor, it requires an official letter duly signed by the person(s) appointed to operate the CDS account pursuant to the board resolution of the company or a new board resolution on the update of signature.
- Why is the notice on a successful update or particulars in a CDS account sent to both the correspondence and the registered addresses?
Bursa Depository sends such notice to both registered and correspondence addresses if both addresses are different. This is one of the security measures built in the CDS to protect the CDS account holder against any unauthorised updates as well as to protect the interest of the CDS account holder.
