Consorsbank does not direct register shares, so you need to transfer your shares to another broker that can DRS transfer.
Please Note; if you have GS2C shares, you can convert them to GME and transfer to IBKR at the same time using this guide.
Consorsbank charges a €30 fee + an external fee of up to 15€ for each Basic FOP Transfer. This means each time you want to transfer a specific stock (no matter how many shares) you are charged up to €45. Consorsbank also charges a €40 fee to convert GS2C to GME.
You will need to make sure you have €45 settled in your Consorsbank account before you can transfer. A popular route has been through Interactive Brokers (IBKR). The quickest way is to open an Interactive Broker account, buy a share, and request a DRS transfer (link to guide here).
While you wait for your Computershare account to be created, you can transfer your shares from Consorsbank to IBKR with a Basic FOP Transfer (€45 fee), then from IBKR to Computershare via DRS transfer for a $5(US) fee.
How to convert GS2C to GME:
You will need to deposit €40 into your Consorsbank account to pay for the conversion fee.
When the €40 has settled, you can log in and contact support to request the conversion.
Let them know how many shares you want converted.
Agree to the €40 fee.
The conversion will take up to 5 business days to process.
