Proxymity, a digital investor communication platform, has rolled out its Vote Connect Total US in partnership with Deutsche Bank.
The investor communication platform’s digital proxy voting solution is designed to modernise proxy voting in the US.
Vote Connect Total US enables Deutsche Bank clients, who hold shares in US companies, to vote at general meetings with enhanced speed and accuracy.
The proxy voting platform replaces manual processes, ensuring clients benefit from real-time transparency and improved governance, with direct connectivity that promotes higher participation rates and better outcomes.
Paul Maley, global head of trust and securities services, Deutsche Bank, comments: “Proxymity Vote Connect Total US strengthens our ability to support clients with the most advanced proxy voting infrastructure in the market that delivers faster, more transparent and reliable services, ensuring our clients’ voting rights are fully and accurately reflected.
“The launch marks a significant milestone in the bank’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, technology-driven services that enhance transparency, accuracy, and end-to-end efficiency across investor communications.”
Jonathan Smalley, chief operating officer, Proximity, adds: “We are proud to expand our collaboration with Deutsche Bank as they implement Vote Connect Total across their US business and is a huge vote of confidence as our US business and team expands further.
"Together, we are setting a new standard in proxy voting, one that prioritises transparency, efficiency, and shareholder empowerment.”
