What are Holder Identification Numbers (HINs) and Securityholder Reference Numbers (SRNs)?
Holder Identification Numbers (HINs) identify CHESS Sponsored holdings (also referred to as Broker Sponsored holdings). Note that your Holder Identifier has 12 characters usually starting with ‘X’, and 11 numbers often with several ‘0’s (i.e. ‘X00012345678’). For security reasons, you MUST enter the entire number, including the letter and ‘0’s to gain access to the Investor Service Centre. Securityholder Reference Numbers (SRNs) identify Issuer Sponsored holdings and begin with the letter ‘I’ (i.e. ‘I00012345678’). Your HIN or SRN appears on your original holding statement as well as subsequent statements and payment (dividend or distribution) advices. If you are unable to locate these documents, please call Link on 02 8280 7111 (Sydney) or 1300 554 474 (Melbourne) to order replacement copies (charges apply). Important note – your SRNs and/or HINs identify you as the owner of your securities and should be stored securely.
