Direct Register Shares from Keytrade

Updated: Oct 20, 2023

Keytrade does not direct register shares, so you need to transfer your shares to another broker that can DRS transfer.


Keytrade charges a €35 + VAT fee for each Basic FOP Transfer. This means each time you want to transfer a specific stock (no matter how many shares) you are charged €35 + VAT. More info on Keytrade fees here.


You will need to make sure you have €35 + VAT settled in your account before you can transfer. A popular route has been through Interactive Brokers (IBKR).


The quickest way is to open an Interactive Broker account, buy a share, and request a DRS transfer (link to guide here). While you wait for your Computershare account to be created, you can transfer your shares from Keytrade to IBKR with a Basic FOP Transfer (€35+VAT fee), then from IBKR to Computershare via DRS transfer for a $5(US) fee.


How to Transfer:

Once your shares and €35+VAT are settled in Keytrade, you need to write a Letter of Instruction with the receiving broker (IBKR).

  • Login in your IBKR account, and click on “Transfer & Pay” from the top menu and select “Transfer Positions” .

  • On the next page select “Incoming”.

  • On the next page select “All Other Regions” from the drop down menu.

  • On the next page select “Basic FOP Transfer“

  • Select KEYTRADE on the drop down list.

  • For “Your Account Number at the Financial Institution“ put your Keytrade account number.

  • For “Name of Account Holder at Financial Institution“ put your full name as defined on your Keytrade account.

  • Select the Account type (most likely individual).

  • Select the country of the Financial Institution where you access Keytrade from).

  • For the contact email put “info@keytradebank.lu".

  • You have to add the asset you want to transfer, click on “Add Asset".

  • On the next page search which stock you'd like to transfer (GME), click on “Search".

  • On the next page, click on the row “GAMESTOP CORP- CLASS A / NYSE".

  • On the next page, define how many shares you'd like to transfer and click on “Save and Finish".

  • On the next page you'll see a summary of the transfer.

  • Click on “Continue”. Interactive Brokers will then generate a Letter of Instruction for you.

  • Click on “View Form”, then click on “Print”.

  • Print, sign, and scan back the form back in.

  • Once the Letter of Instruction is signed and scanned in you can send a message to Keytrade with the Letter of Instruction:

    • Login to Keytrade and start a support chat and ask for an outbound transfer of GME shares as detailed in your Letter of Instruction.

    • Attach the Letter of Instruction and the agent will lead you through the next steps.

The transfer should be processed within 1 week. You should receive an email confirming that the transfer was successfully performed.
