FAQs and contacts

Find answers to frequently asked questions and contact our Investor Relations team. We are here to assist you with any inquiries you may have about investing in Standard Bank Group.

Got a question about shareholder information? View our commonly asked questions.
Do you have shareholder meetings?
Yes, shareholders will be invited to attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM) every year. If there's a particularly important matter that can’t wait until the next AGM, shareholders may be called to an Extraordinary General Meeting.
How can I get a copy of your annual report?
You can view the annual report online. These can be found in the Investor Relations section of our website under Results & Reports.
How do I buy and trade shares?
You can buy and sell our ordinary shares through a financial adviser or stockbroker or an online share trading platform that offer a similar service. The commission charges for buying and selling shares will vary depending on the organisation.
How do I transfer stock, change my shareholder account address, or replace a lost stock certificate?
The company’s transfer secretaries will be happy to help if you have a question. Please see contact details below.
What anti-fraud information should I be aware of?
As an investor, you should be aware of common investment scam tactics in the market. The scams usually start either by receiving a brochure in the mail, or a sales representative making contact via phone or email. Hard sell tactics will be employed to pressure the victim into a transaction; for example, the shares will be offered at a low price valid for a very limited period, with guaranteed high returns, and payments must almost immediately be made to an offshore account.

To prevent yourself from falling prey to such scams, it is always advisable to validate the authenticity of the offer by checking the registration of the individual selling you the shares, or contacting the company whose shares are being offered. If you are in any doubt, check with your own bank's fraud team before investing. For more helpful tips on protection against investment fraud, visit Computer Share.

If you suspect you or someone you know, may have recently fallen prey to investment scams, contact the transacting bank immediately to attempt to stop payments from being made.
What happens at the Annual General Meeting?
The AGM reviews Standard Bank performance over the past year and gives shareholders the opportunity to ask questions and vote on key issues. These include the approval of the annual report and accounts, the election of directors and the re-election of auditors.

Shareholders can ask questions relating to items on the meeting agenda, as well as general questions about Standard Bank and its activities. There may also be special issues to vote on.
What if I cannot attend the Annual General Meeting?
If you're unable to attend in person, you can still get your views heard. If shares are registered in your name, we’ll send you a proxy form before the meeting, allowing you to vote for or against each of the items (also called 'resolutions') on the agenda.

Alternatively, you can nominate someone else to attend the meeting and vote for you as your proxy. If your shares are registered in someone else's name, they'll receive the proxy form.
What is Standard Bank official accounting currency?
