​
Congratulations you have now submitted a purchase directly through Computershare!
​
You will receive a confirmation email shortly afterwards. Computershare will pull the money from your bank account within 2 business days. After a few more days Computershare will submit the buy order in a large batch trade along with other Computershare investors.
​
While the delay seems problematic, this actually helps with price movement. As the batch orders are often round or mixed lots and purchased on lit exchanges.
