Proxymity is pleased to announce the expansion of its partnership with HSBC, with the launch of its flagship proxy voting solution, Vote Connect Total in New Zealand.

Following a successful rollout in Australia, this expansion allows HSBC New Zealand clients to benefit from real-time voting communication, extended market deadlines, and immediate vote confirmations for Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs).

This digital-first approach provides HSBC’s clients with a direct connection to issuers, reducing manual processes and enhancing transparency in shareholder communications. Proxymity’s real-time vote confirmation ensures that investor votes are instantly verified, leading to a smoother, more efficient shareholder experience.

Steve Johnson, Chief of Staff at Proxymity. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to build on our relationship with HSBC. By adopting Vote Connect Total, HSBC will be able to provide its New Zealand clients with a digital solution that streamlines proxy voting and enhances the overall shareholder experience. By giving HSBC customers access to Proxymity’s proven technologies in New Zealand, we are continuing to pave the way for truly digital, real-time communication across the globe.”

Fiona Horsewill, HSBC’s Global Head of Securities Services, added: “As the leading securities services provider in Asia, HSBC is committed to improving standards of efficiency and integrity in investor communications. We are pleased to deploy Proxymity’s product in both New Zealand and Australia to enhance the overall investor experience for our clients.“

This implementation reinforces Proxymity’s mission to strengthen shareholder democracy and improve transparency and accuracy across markets. Additionally, HSBC leverages Proxymity’s Shareholder Disclosure solution in the UK, further extending its digital services.
