Our Global Transaction Unit (GTU) is a dedicated group of highly experienced personnel located in Computershare offices around the world. The GTU assists capital market participants by leveraging Computershare’s cross border capabilities and common technologies to rapidly move securities across international markets, increasing the speed and certainty of settlement of cross border transactions.

The GTU uses xSettle, Computershare’s market leading web application, to capture instructions. Operating in conjunction with Computershare’s global registry platform, capital market participants are able to efficiently settle cross border transactions.

Taking advantage of our global technology platform ‘SCRIP’, we offer highly efficient and direct links between the markets in which we operate. This enables us to move securities cross border faster than comparable services.

For example, for Canadian securities, we are able to issue DIs in the UK directly against receipt of the securities in Canada; whereas, Euroclear's CDI service would require the Canadian shares to be first transferred to its account in DTC (US), through the bridge between DTC and CDS (the Canadian CSD) before it can release CDIs into CREST.
