Does anyone know how to obtain such a guarantee? Credit Suisse has stopped doing this.

Fredchroy,

Did you have any success finding an alternative to Credit Suisse?

Have not heard a peep from anyone.

Hi, I am going through this now. Any success?

No luck at all.

Hi, here's an answer I got from my requesting institution (a New York based bank) who says they'll accept the following:

1. A New York Correspondent bank referenced in the foreign bank’s guarantee stamp.
2. An overseas branch of a United States Bank or a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange firm referenced in the foreign bank's guarantee stamp.
3. A correspondent branch in the United States, which is referenced in the foreign bank's guarantee stamp

You can check with a major brokerage firm like Smith Barney, Edward Jones etc… For a bank institution you can also check with Citigroup

I am only doing a name change on the stock holder (me), and not any transfer of ownership so there is less liability involved.

cheers,

Thanks Bruce! Credit Suisse in Luzern ought to be able to handle that.
