FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?
Company setup is self-service. You create your company profile, connect shareholder records, and configure your first distribution online without a complicated implementation project.
Can my transfer agent approve distributions?
Yes. Distributions can be submitted to a connected transfer agent for review, authorization, processing, and recordkeeping, or managed through your company's own authorized workflow.
What happens when a payment fails?
Failed, returned, and blocked payments appear in exception management with the affected investor account so your team can resolve and reissue them.
How are calculations handled?
You select the security, distribution type, record date, payment date, and calculation methodology, and the platform applies it consistently across eligible holders.
