client testimonial

“Capita’s DI product is a great solution for us. As a former FTSE 250 company based in Israel and therefore unable to settle using the CREST system, we were having to settle residually. In 1999 Capita worked with us on the first Depository Interest in the world and since then we’ve floated 3 more of our subsidiaries using the DI product, which is now a well-proven route to market for us. The team’s professionalism and experience working with a wide range of advisers has made them invaluable.”

"Following our re-domicile to Bermuda through a Scheme of Arrangement we appointed Capita Registrars as registrars and deposit interest provider, making us their 100th Depository Interest client. Capita Registrars worked quickly and efficiently and we would like to thank them for all their hard work. Capita Registrars has pioneered the use of Depository Interests for Bermuda companies and it was a pleasure to work with such a professional company."
