History StockCross has deep roots in the history of Equity Compensation. Our original Houston location was among the first to offer Equity Compensation services by succession through the Bank of San Francisco dating back to 1985. In the early 1990s, the Bank of San Francisco transferred their Stock Plan business to Fiserv. TradeStar, a firm based in Houston, acquired their corporate services clients. In 2005 StockCross acquired the assets of TradeStar, including their Corporate Services business, with a coveted client list including Schlumberger, Apple, Campbell Soup, Home Depot, Cooper Companies, Advanced Micro Devices & Hewlett Packard. All StockCross clients enjoy personal service in addition to getting the best web based technology, accounting and compliance platform available.
