Why do I need to open 2 accounts, one with Share Registry and IPO (MY) and one with a broking firm?

Modified on Sat, 26 Jul at 12:01 AM


Opening an account with Share Registry and IPO (MY) allows you to submit your Pink Form application and make payment through the e-subscription platform.


On the other hand, a CDS (Central Depository System) account, which must be opened through a licensed stockbroking firm (e.g., CGS-CIMB), is required to receive and hold the shares that are allocated to you.


Both accounts serve different purposes and are necessary to complete the electronic application and allotment process.
