How to claim
- Confirm it is CardinalStone: search the SEC's Non-Mandated Dividends Search ↗ by first name and surname. A result names the company and the registrar holding the account. It does not tell you an amount.
- Fill CardinalStone's e-dividend mandate — its e-dividend mandate page ↗.
- Submit it through your bank or the registrar, as the SEC's guidance ↗ says. That is what starts the payments coming to you directly.
- If you are told the dividends are too old, the SEC's circular of 5 June 2025 directs companies and registrars to keep honouring claims: cite it by name and date.
CardinalStone also runs its shareholder portal ↗, an online account for its shareholders.
Check any firm on the SEC's register of licensed operators ↗ before giving it your details, and never pay anyone a percentage to run the search. Djeli is not connected to CardinalStone and holds no shareholder data. All registrars
