Computershare Reviews 

Rukshana went above and beyond. I had some lost certificates. She went through all the old certifictes, 9 years worth, so I could figure out which ones were missing, and step by step, told me what I needed to do next.

I would love to have a talk with the CEO about their crap customer service trying to get help after my father passed away and left shares to my mom. The transfer process is way too complicated when you don’t have the Medallion Certificate. Every time I call, it’s someone new and I have to re-explain the entire process over and over. Worst company to deal with. I’m still trying to get this resolved. Going on 8 months now!! Ridiculous

Over 3.5 hours in 2 days speaks for itself. The absolutely worst experience in my lifetime.
The first clue: 2 usps letters received in one day. Each had a different narrative and each contained a different account number. Then on that evening spending over 2 hours trying to follow directions. Tried over and over again to transfer my account whilst following instructions to the tee! Even checking off each step to make absolutely sure I made no errors. I have been a computer teacher, owned a computer business and a computer non-profit. College educated with degrees in computer science included. What could possibly go wrong? Everything! Then the next day contacting their off-shore support center. The first thing that hits you is "oh no." Tried about 9 attempts to get my transferred account working. Then the ID fiasco. Says any government ID. Tried with no luck. Thereafter it demanded a D/L or passport. Tried the D/L. It failed. Finally got it to accept but they next ask for a live picture now with a time limit to respond.

The programmer/analysts that created their site for sure have severe mental challenges. Must have been hired during the dei challenges or come from off-shore. In total frustration I even ran them on a trusted AI driven highly respected site named GROK. It stated that computershare it credible but their support is the worst. FINALLY they forced me to change from Chrome to Firefox. That failed as well. Then they asked me to use Edger.

Hey computershare FIX IT or quit the business!

I called Computershare and asked them to close this account and Supervisor Celia refused to give her last name, badge number or the phone number of the corporate office. I then waited on hold for 2 hours to finally close this account.!!! Do not use this Company, and the Superviser Celia should be fired for failing to close my account when I asked.

Horrible customer service at Computershare. No one bothered to respond to letters written and mailed to them. Computershare deserves zero stars.

Worst investment company ever. Most uselss customer support ever. Website, phone and chat aren't allowed to take an address change request. They expect me to mail them an address change request in writing. When I tried to give them a review all of the sudden my brower magically got hit by a virus. SCAMMERS!!!

Avoid at any costs - completely useless broker with weird internal rules, lack of customer service philosophy and ticketing system.
If you get your stocks there - move them asap to any other vendor/broker via DRS

My parents owned a joint account with shares of a single stock. First, my father passed several years ago. I went through a needlessly lengthy, paper intensive process requiring medallion certification to get his named removed from the account. Afterwards, absolutely nothing happened - no change in account ownership.

Then, my mother passed. Now, they have an internet process with 2 process options. Option 1 requires you to use a chatbot to get to a customer service rep. Great! The chatbot IMMEDIATELY says “your conversation” is terminated the moment you open the chatbot pop up. Option 2 offers the same paperwork I used for my dad’s passing years ago. The same paperwork Computershare took no action on the first time. It still requires a medallion certification. Fine, only now my local bank no longer offers that service. No problem medallion has a list of financial institutions that offer medallion services; however, it’s incorrect. I checked with those institutions locally - they don’t.

I find a number to call Computershare directly. After significant wait they answer, they transfer me to the “office that helps customers who don’t have medallion available to them”. Another long wait, then *click*, phone call”s over. I have literally closed out dozens of executor actions in the time I’ve wasted with Computershare without result.

I hate this company.

The worst customer service ever. I’ll never buy another F’ing stock from them because they suck.

This has got to be the worst site/company in terms of signing on to website to access account. Even though you have a user name and password, and the site sends you a verification code, evidently you still need some sort of access code. This access code will be snail mailed to you in 7-10 business days!!! WTAF!!! I will be transferring shares that are in this account ASAP!!!!!

I have been waiting now over 3 weeks to receive my money from Computershare Australia. They promised again it would be account yesterday. Still no money and no call back from them.
After calling again I was told it was with the supervisor waiting to release it now maybe in 2 more weeks.
Where is my money and what is going on here?

My money is finally in my account.
A big thank you to Arlene for listening and taking the right action to resolve this.

Do not deal with these people.
Will update again next week.

Absolutely horrible. I inherited this stock - I would totally advise against it. Customer service is totally inadequate-and just try setting up an online account- you will waste an entire day- and get NO WHERE!!!

The most frustrating company I have ever dealt with !!! Invest anywhere but in computershares!!!!

Poor customer service. Very difficult to get help. The online platform was clunky and dated. Computershare was chosen by my employer, and I hope I don't have to use them again (unless things improve dramatically).

This company especially in the UK needs a serious overhaul, they do not know the meaning of customer service!
Trying to get onto the Investor Centre portal is an absolute joke, going round in circles trying.
After eventually speaking to someone, because I've had issues trying to login. They say the account needs to be closed via the U.S.A and a new one set up and you imagine, this is not going to go well.
Can the financial Ombudsmen get involved with this company??

If I could give it no stars, I would. I have never been so frustrated in my life. I felt sorry for the customer service representative, because he was only the messenger. They have unpublished practices that they want you to follow. It is mind blowing. They will never get another cent of my money. Run, don't walk away. There are too many other reputable investment companies to deal with.

The system for logging in has changed from the usual format to a complex U key which has a rather long password. At the end of it you still fail to move on. 5 attempts and you are blown out for 24hours.
Extremely frustrating to say the least.
The chat bot isn't much better either.

I had an issue with my bank account details - there was a typo that prevented me from getting a money transfer to my account. Not an easy issue to resolve as an urgent notification of bank details correction needed to be sent to my bank. A duty operator named Immanuella provided an excellent service by carefully listening, understanding this complicated issue and doing her best to ensure fast and effective resolution. Thank you very much!

Should be a "0" rating.
Terrible customer service; complicated process to sell shares.

NEVER AGAIN and DON'T USE FOR ANY REASON...

In my case, communication via email and chat was limited, and the public picture differed from what I was experiencing privately.

Since relocating to #Valu𝗲 #mining#llc#. I've observed increased consistency and stability in how things work.

The problem is they turned over my dividends over the the state siting inactivity. The dividends are from 2021 stating I never cash the check they sent. They said I had direct deposit started in 2023. That's 2 years. The waiting period for unclaimed funds is 3 years in this state. Any normal person would follow up if a mailed check is not cashed, it could be solen ,mail truck caught fire again many things.
This was all a lie anyway, as advised by Computershare I contacted the state. The state has no record they ever turned over the money to them.
