Safari is also supported (Safari version 12, 13, 14 and 15), even though it is not an "evergreen browser". Internet Explorer cannot be used.
Apple Products
The Euronext Securities Portal will run on the four latest main versions of the Safari browser on Mac, iPhone and iPad (Safari versions 12, 13, 14 and 15). Shareholders who have older Apple equipment which cannot be updated to a usable Safari version can install and use a Chrome browser.
