Frequently Asked Questions
Price Beat Guarantee!
Who can use One Off Trades
If you have issuer-sponsored shares, our share sale service is fast and easy. If you do not have a broker or trading account and would like to quickly sell your shares, One Off Trades can help. We allow you to sell your shares without the need to open a full trading account.
What is a One Off Trade / one off share sale?
People often end up with a parcel of shares but do not have a trading account to sell them. This can be the result of employee share schemes, investing in company floats, or having shares held in the name of a family member. One Off Trades allows you to sell your issuer-sponsored shared on the market without the need to open a traditional trading account.
What shares are eligible?
- The shares you wish to sell must be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
- Your holdings must be issuer sponsored, rather than broker sponsored.
What are issuer-sponsored shares?
Issuer sponsored shares are those not connected to a broker. This can be identified by looking at your Holding Statement, which will display a 10-digit number, most likely headed by the letter ‘I’.
This number is called the SRN, Shareholder Reference Number. If your holder number starts with the letter ‘X’, this means your shares are connected to a broker.
What if my shares are not Issuer Sponsored?
If an “X” heads your number, your shares are broker sponsored under a HIN (Holder Identification Number). You will need to sell them through that original broker.
Can I purchase shares through One Off Trades?
One Off Trades is designed as a sell-only service for clients looking to trade ASX listed shares.
Can I sell my shares with One Off Trades if I am not an Australian citizen and/or resident?
Yes. International share sales however, cannot be processed in the same manner as domestic share sales. For more information on international share sales, click here.
What are the steps to complete a One Off Trade?
- Complete the online one off share form.
- Verify your ID online.
- When we receive your request we will verify your attached identification document(s), and confirm the holding details with the Share Registry.
- If the provided identification documentation and holding details are correct, your shares will be sold at the prevailing market price as soon as practicable.
Can I sell multiple holdings through one application?
Up to four individual issuer sponsored parcels can be sold using a single application. If you have more than four parcels to sell, please contact us at (02) 8999 0595 or [email protected] and we can assist further.
Can I sell shares that are registered in an old name (i.e maiden or married name)?
One Off Trades supports the ability to sell shares registered to an old name. To do so, simply follow the prompts in our Share Sale Form and upload a certified copy of a change of name certificate.
What if my name has recently changed?
If you have recently had a name change, we will need proof of the change (ie, marriage certificate). In section 3 of 5 of the application, after you fill out the Registration details. You will be asked:
“Do any of the shareholders on this page go by another name than that which is listed on the registered holding details (as per a Holding or Dividend Statement) ?” Select yes, and upload the necessary name change document(s).
You may also email your document to [email protected] , just be sure to include your transaction ID.
What is the Account Designation in the share sale form?
In order to sell shares for a Deceased Estate you will require the following:
- The holdings will need to be registered to the name of the estate (e.g. Estate of John Doe, or any similar variation) This needs to be changed on the website as well.
- The Estate name may also be an account designation to the executor (e.g., Jane Doe, ).
- A certified copy of the Probate or the Will and Death Certificate.
- A bank account in the name of the Estate, the executor(s), or your solicitor’s trust account where the funds will be deposited.
What is the cost of a One Off Trade?
There are no fees payable upfront. Our brokerage per holding sold is deducted from what you earn from your share sale.
For standard Value Service (shares sold within 1 -2 business days), One Off Trades has a brokerage rate of 0.95% per transaction or a minimum of $105.

What if the value of my shares does not cover One Off Trades fees?
Unfortunately, if your shares do not exceed the costs of a One Off Trade we cannot complete the sale. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
When will my shares be sold?
Your shares will be sold between market open hours, which are approximately 10am to 4pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday (unless the market is closed for a national public holiday or similar). We endeavour to execute and sell your shares as soon as possible and normally do so within approximately two business days at the prevailing market price at the time the order is placed.
A confirmation Contract Note will be issued once your shares are sold. You should retain the Confirmation Contract Note for tax purposes, as it details the price your shares were sold at and the brokerage paid.
What price will my shares trade at?
Your sell order will be placed as an ‘At Market Order’ which will match your order to the top bid (buyer’s) price at the time of execution. Market orders are not guaranteed to execute at the current last traded price in the market. If your order is partially filled it will remain on the market until fully sold.
Contact us if you would like to enquire as to what the current last traded price is.
How and when will I receive the proceeds of my sale?
Where can I get a copy of my holding statement?
To obtain information about your current shareholding and transaction history, including dividend payment information for taxation purposes, make changes to your shareholding, including to change your name, update your banking instructions, update your email or mailing address, record your tax file number, or transfer your holding, please contact your designated Share Registry.
How do I find out which Share Registry my shares are registered with?
