Proxymity’s Shareholder Insights service has been introduced to the Norwegian market through a partnership with Oslo-headquartered financial service DNB.
Proxymity’s service was integrated into DNB’s operations on the same day the Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II) came into effect in Norway (3 July).
Proxymity’s Shareholder Insights service identifies compliant shareholders and aims to eliminate the operational and technological burdens associated with such processes.
The service also offers connectivity between central securities depositories , issuers, intermediaries and account operators to promote communication and transparency.
Proxymity’s Shareholder Insights service is available to DNB’s issuer clients. It will act as an account operator, ensuring compliance with all relevant EU regulations.

Dean Little, CEO of Proxymity, says: “Our collaboration with DNB represents a significant milestone for Proxymity. Together, we are not only enhancing transparency in shareholder communications, but also promoting technological innovation that aligns with emerging regulatory demands. As SRD II takes effect in Norway, our shared vision for efficient and compliant shareholder disclosures is now a reality.”
