We Are Your Leading Transfer Agent for Both Public and Private Companies
At Odyssey Trust, we pride ourselves on being a premier provider of transfer agent and trust services for both public issuers and private companies. Odyssey has serviced clients in almost every sector of the economy, enabling us to deliver effective solutions regardless of your industry.
Making the move to Odyssey is simple, fast, and easy, as proven by our hundreds of clients who have seamlessly switched to a transfer agent who offers superior service, rapid execution and comprehensive product offerings.
Public Issuers - FAQ's
First and foremost, Odyssey is a more cost-effective solution for issuers. We started Odyssey because we knew the market was missing a trust company that does things differently than the “big box” players in our space. If you value responsiveness, personalized service and an experienced team you can trust, we’d love to talk with you about working together.
When clients transition to Odyssey, the process is seamless. We provide you with a pre-filled transition package and once it has been sent to your outgoing transfer agent, we take over from there. We deal with your outgoing transfer agent directly and our systems are set-up to handle the records migration automatically.
As an innovative, nimble and client-service driven transfer agent, Odyssey Trust understands the needs of our clients at all stages of their life cycle and we have proactively enhanced our business by incorporating value-add service offerings into our portfolio. In addition to our core transfer agent and trust company services, we support our clients by offering cross-border capabilities, whistleblower services, cost-effective and robust press release packages, filing agent services, and employee plan management.
Private Companies - FAQ's
While you may have a small number of securityholders and transfers or issuances to process, you might be relying on your law firm to perform these services, which can be relatively expensive. Alternatively, you may have assigned these responsibilities to an employee who is juggling many priorities and may not have the time and/or expertise required. A transfer agent can perform these services to relieve the burden on your law firm or your employees with a specialized system, reporting and industry knowledge.
Odyssey is committed to providing the highest level of local, personalized service to both you and your securityholders. We deliver this through innovative software, online tools and seasoned industry professionals that are available to you any time. We offer your securityholders book entry statements that remove the hassle of replacing lost certificates or turning them in if you choose to go public. Our services include compliance with all relevant regulations and guidance on restricted or legal securities transfers.
