i'm in the us and i once transferred shares in a brokerage account from schwab to fidelity.  i received the shares from my employer as rsus and the employer used schwab.   after i quit and the shares vested, i wanted to move the shares to fidelity because that is where all my other accounts are.  i called fidelity and they were more than happy to help, and it was an easy process.  i believe schwab charged about $50 for the transfer. the only tricky part is that you need to transfer the cost basis of the shares.  i was on a three-way phone call with schwab and fidelity for schwab to tell fidelity what the purchase price was.
