Bought shares - will Cert arrive for Christmas?

[philips]

Does anyone know how long it takes for a share (Irish bank) certificate to be issued?

Did the broker not tell you?

He said it varies and was not sure being so close to Christmas. Used Sharewatch for the first time since it was a once off trade as such - a Christmas gift. Found them excellent by the way. My first time buying paper shares and I was just wondering about other people's experience.

In my experience (not with Sharewatch) you get a letter confirming trade almost straight away, but cert can take a couple of weeks.

You may need to mock a nice cert or something up on the computer saying you have bought the shares.

Good idea SarahMc.........might be more fun actually for the individual involved!
Thanks.
