MELBOURNE, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Australian share registry operator Computershare has signaled interest in buying one of its top two U.S. rivals.

The Melbourne-based company is already in the early stages of integrating recently acquired U.S. share registry administrator Equiserve, which it bought for $292 million last October.

Chief executive Chris Morris said would be interested in buying either of the two remaining players, Mellon Investor Services and Bank of New York, the Melbourne Herald Sun said Monday.

"If the opportunity arose, then certainly we would be interested in either of them," he said.
