CSE’s CDS asks all to convert to e-statements

The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) yesterday said all Central Depository System (CDS) account holders who have subscribed for the e-statement facility will continue to receive an uninterrupted service in receiving the CDS annual statements as at 31st March 2020.

The CDS is not in a position to dispatch CDS statements for those who have not subscribed for the e-statement facility, due to the non-availability of regular postal services in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic. CDS urges all other account holders who have not subscribed for the email version of the statement to do so immediately in order to continue to receive account statements. CDS account holders can now register for e-statements via email. The e-statement facility can be enabled by emailing the completed registration form to your registered stockbroker/participant.

The e-statement registration form can be downloaded via www.cds.lk, and the completed form should be emailed to your registered stockbroker/participant.
