The Santander Nominee Service and CREST Depository Interests (CDIs)

The Santander Nominee Service and CREST Depository Interests (CDIs)

The Santander Nominee Service is a corporate sponsored nominee service provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited.

As a Spanish company Santander does not issue paper share certificates, instead your share entitlement is recorded electronically in CREST (the UK’s electronic share clearance and settlement system) as CDIs.

CDIs are UK securities that represent a stock traded on an exchange which is based outside of the UK and the Santander Nominee Service gives UK shareholders a simple way of holding CDIs.

Because CDIs are UK securities you can receive dividends in sterling and can buy or sell CDIs easily in the UK.
