This complex transaction was completed using Equiniti’s proprietary paperless document processing and international payments technology. These services offer significant logistical, environmental and cost benefits. They demonstrate Equiniti’s ability to provide secure, flexible and timely technology solutions in both the legal and payments elements of a transaction.
