  • On the Australian Reddit forum "GMEmate", there have been discussions about Direct Registration System (DRS) transfers. A post was made indicating that CommSec International has stopped supporting DRS transfers. However, I was not able to find a complete and clear answer to the current status of DRS transfers with other Australian brokers.
  • It appears that some Australian GameStop investors are considering moving from CommSec to other brokers such as Interactive Brokers or Stake for the purpose of DRS.
