Computershare.com.au?

Basically some time back i was given company shares as part of a profit share. My understanding is they cant be sold for a few years.

Since then i have opened a westpac broking account and have dipped my toes in with some small purchases.

Now i recieve mail from those companies saying to register with computershare.com.au ( Not my free shares from employee)
This i have done and it shows all my purchases on there as does the westpac broking site.

My question is what is the diffference between the two sites and how should they be used. I even did as search on the computershare web site and it found my free company shares but only gives limited info.

Are they both brokering sites ???

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Computer Share is a registry (the others that I know of are linkmarketservices.com.au and registries.com.au). They handle the administration of a company's share registry.

Use their websites to set up payment details for dividends, and get the tax information.
