Setting up your EasyEquities account through Discovery Bank (Link/Register)

When you link your EasyEquities account to your Discovery Bank app, your investments will automatically count towards points you can earn with no need to upload further supporting documents.

Investments across your accounts (ZAR, TFSA, USD, AUD, GBP and Euro) will count towards your Savings Points, and the investments in your RA will be used for the Retirement Points you can earn with Vitality Money.

You can either link your existing EasyEquities account to your Discovery Bank profile, or you can register an account straight from your Discovery Bank App.

The EasyEquities platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyEquities acts as an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership.

In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor.

The availability of any share on the EasyEquities platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you.
