About Barclays Sharestore

Barclays Sharestore is a convenient way to hold your shares electronically without a share certificate. Transferring shares into Sharestore is free.

Through Barclays Sharestore you can:

• Eliminate the risk of losing your share certificate and having to pay a replacement fee
• Receive an annual statement, usually in September, detailing the number of shares you own and any changes through the course of the year
• Trade your shares through Barclays Stockbrokers ShareDeal service at a competitive price
• Benefit from faster settlements – if you sell your Barclays shares you’ll receive the money in three business days
• Receive your dividends at the same time as all other Barclays shareholders
• Receive less unwanted mail. Your name will not appear on the Barclays share register as your shares will be held by a nominee. This means other organisations cannot obtain your name and address details to send you advertising material.
