Nordic Issuer, a leading independent provider of account management and registry services in Norway, is rebranding to Equro. This change highlights its position as an innovative challenger and supports its ongoing growth in the Nordic securities market.

Just before summer, Equro reached the significant milestone of NOK 750 billion in paid-in capital registered in our own registry.

Discover how Equro's meticulous handling of over 1,500 Shareholder Registry Reports ensures accurate ownership representation and compliance with Norwegian regulations, reinforcing their commitment to customer satisfaction and reliability in the financial market.

Discover how Equro's digital share ledger provides compliance solutions for EU regulations on beneficial ownership transparency, anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorism financing.

We are proud to announce that Equro has now taken over the role as registrar in Euronext Securities Oslo for Aprila Bank ASA.

Norwegian depository receipts (NDR) have now been issued, providing an innovative option for non-Norwegian companies to access the Norwegian market.

After working on a portfolio transfer for the last quarter or so, we are extremely happy to finally announce that we have taken over a significant portfolio of Companies - that are registered in Euronext Securities Oslo "VPS" - from a large bank.

Every week we get asked: "Should we keep our shares in your system 'Equro' or in VPS' system". The answer to this question has no easy answer, as it's based on the specific needs of your company.

Equro Services AS is one of the few account operators offering Euronext VPS's general meeting solution. We will also offer the upcoming solution from Euronext VPS, which will facilitate the correct handling of custodian/nominee votes for companies wishing to manage the general meeting themselves.

Equro Services AS provides clarity on the procedure for opening (Euronext Securities Oslo) "VPS accounts" for foreign investors, including American investors, in companies where we act as Account Operator Issuer (KU).
