What Is Computershare

Computershare plays a central role in the lifecycle of Israel bonds after they are purchased. While the purchase of Israel bonds happens through the Israel Bonds investor site, all bondholder records and post-purchase servicing are maintained by Computershare, which acts as the fiscal agent for bonds issued by the State of Israel. This means Computershare manages the official bondholder database, handles interest and maturity payments, and provides bondholders with secure access to their account information.

This article explains what Computershare does, how bondholders can view their holdings, and where to access statements and account documents.

Who Computershare Is and What They Do

Computershare serves as the fiscal agent for bonds issued by the State of Israel and sold through Development Corporation for Israel, also known as Israel Bonds. Once a bond is issued, Computershare becomes responsible for maintaining the official bondholder records. Their responsibilities include:

• Issuing account statements on behalf of the State of Israel
• Recording bondholder information
• Processing maturity and interest payments
• Providing online access to bondholder information through Israel Bonds Direct (IBD)

Computershare manages the bondholder database itself, not the purchaser account used on the Israel Bonds investor website. This distinction is important because the two systems serve different purposes and hold different types of information.

Accessing Your Bond Holdings Online

Bondholders can view their holdings by signing in to Israel Bonds Direct (IBD), the online system maintained by Computershare. IBD provides secure access to:

• All Israel bond positions registered to the bondholder
• Maturity dates
• Recent transactions
• Holder details associated with the account

IBD is designed specifically for bondholders, which means individuals who are listed as the registered owners of Israel bonds. Purchasers logging into the Israel Bonds investor site will not see their Computershare information there because the two systems manage different data.

How to Access Statements and Transaction Information

Account statements and transaction summaries are available through Israel Bonds Direct (IBD). After registering for an IBD account, bondholders can log in to:

• View statements issued by Computershare
• Download past statements and summaries
• Review tax forms when available
• Monitor maturity and interest activity

Printed statements may also be requested directly from Computershare if needed.

Final Notes

Computershare is an essential part of the Israel bonds program. Their role ensures that bondholder information is accurately maintained, payments are processed according to bond terms, and account documents are available through a secure online system. If you are the registered bondholder of an Israel bond, Israel Bonds Direct is where you will find your official bondholder records and statements.
