Company

Who we are

Our team shares a passion for simplicity and a belief that registry systems can be attractive, elegant and easy to use.

We are a small company with aspirations to provide markets, SMEs and investors with efficient and cost effective trading, settlement and registry services and we are excited about helping aspiring NZ companies.  Our vision is for efficiency in systems and to remove cost and paper.

Avenir started in 2013 as a collaboration between three colleagues who collectively have many years experience in developing and implementing stock exchange trading and settlement systems.

The demand for such financial systems is global, but early on we saw that there were opportunities for Avenir to act as an operator, particularly as a securities registrar, and we now operate registries in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom, where our register is CREST connected.  CREST connectivity coupled with relationships we have built in the UK mean that we can offer a branch registry in London and introduce New Zealand companies to market participants in the UK.

Our customer facing staff are supported by Avenir Technology in New Zealand and the UK.
