Investor Compensation Company DAC

The ICCL supports the National Payments Plan initiative to phase out the usage of cheques and increase efficiencies for Participant firms. Commencing 1 July 2020, the ICCL no longer accepts cheque payments. The ICCL already offers multiple alternative, convenient and secure payment methods namely, Direct Debit, EFT and card payments either online or over the phone. To register for Direct Debit, simply click on the green Register / Login button in the top right corner and follow the on-screen instructions.

BlackBee Investments Limited

The Joint Administrators (Luke Charleton and Alan Large of EY) to BlackBee Investments Limited (“BBIL”) have started certifying claims in respect of certain holdings with BBIL to include directly contacting the claimants with investments in those holdings.

The ICCL will also be contacting the respective claimants, once the certifications are received in respect of the above noted holdings.
