How to Buy Shares via Accumeo – Step by Step
1. Create an Account
Creating an account with us is free and quick – it takes about three minutes. Before you can start investing, you’ll answer a few questions to help us ensure compliance with applicable anti-money laundering regulations.
2. Submit an Indication of Interest
Once you’ve found a company you want to invest in, click “Buy.” You’ll specify the number of shares, the price, and whether you're acting as a private individual or through a company. Once your indication of interest has been reviewed and approved, it will be published – completely anonymously – on the platform. If you prefer your indication to be visible only to Accumeo, you can choose to submit a private indication of interest.
3. Matching Your Indication of Interest
Once approved, your indication of interest becomes visible to all users on Accumeo’s platform. Our brokers then actively assess and connect buyers and sellers to facilitate the transaction.
4. Sign the Brokerage Agreement
When a match is made by our brokers, we send you a brokerage agreement. This agreement governs the relationship between you and Accumeo, including terms such as brokerage fees. Accumeo only receives compensation if the deal is completed, and the fee typically ranges between 1% and 2.5% of the transaction amount, depending on the size and complexity of the transaction.
5. Sign the Purchase Agreement
Once both parties have signed their respective brokerage agreements, we issue a purchase agreement. This governs the relationship between the buyer and the seller and includes details such as price, number of shares, and deadlines.
6. Complete the Transaction
For companies connected to Euroclear: You receive a contract note – a receipt of the transaction with information about the buyer and seller – which you forward to your bank. Your bank then contacts the seller’s bank to ensure a proper transfer of both funds and shares. Make sure you have sufficient funds available in your account.
For companies not connected to Euroclear: If a right of first refusal applies, you’ll need to wait until the period ends and the company approves the transaction. Payment instructions are provided in the signed purchase agreement, and you carry out the transfer via your bank according to the agreed terms.
7. Share Delivery
Companies connected to Euroclear: Once payment is completed, the shares are delivered to your designated account, usually within two banking days.
Companies not connected to Euroclear: Once payment is received, the company – usually someone from management or investor relations – will contact you to confirm the change of ownership, typically within a couple of days.
