First-time users should click the "create login" button to follow the steps for creating a unique user ID.

Returning investors simply log in by entering their user ID and password in the "Existing User" area. If you have forgotten your user ID or password and wish to access your account, click on the "forgot user ID?" or "forgot password" button on the page to go through the recovery process.

Note: In November 2012, Computershare updated the Investor Centre website with enhanced security protocols. Upon their first login to the updated site, users were prompted to validate their contact information and create a custom "site seal" as an additional layer of account authentication.

How To Register

If you are a first-time user, you will need to complete a simple process to create your user ID. You will be required to enter the following information for validation:

  • Ticker symbol or company name
  • Social Security number or taxpayer ID (if you have one)
  • Zip code (or last name if you reside outside the US)

If you do not have a Social Security number or taxpayer ID, you will need to click the "Alternate Validation" link. This alternate registration page allows you to register by entering:

  • Ticker
  • Account number
  • Zip code
  • Last name

After accepting the terms and conditions, you will be directed to the "User Set-up" page. There, you will provide your name, email address and cell phone number for account validation. You will also be prompted to create a unique "site seal" by choosing a color and entering three words of your choice. This custom site seal will appear each time you log in as an added layer of verification. Choose a user ID and password for your account and enter them into the designated boxes. Finally, you will be asked to select three security questions.

*If you have a logon already but have problems logging in, you can contact +1800 942 5909 (U.S. and Canada) or send an email to investorcentre@computershare.com for assistance.
