What is a Holder Identification Number (HIN)?
The Holder Identification Number (HIN) identifies your registration on the CHESS Subregister. This form of registration, also known as Broker Sponsored, allows brokers to manage their sponsored client’s shareholdings. A HIN is made up of the letter X followed by ten numbers, ie X0001234567. The one HIN can register a client’s shareholding in multiple companies. Find out more from Computershare.
