Brokerage account
The account your securities are held in: what it is and how to open one.
A brokerage account (securities account) holds your stocks, ETFs, funds and bonds. It comes with a cash account for deposits, dividends and the proceeds of sales. Everything you buy or sell runs through these two accounts.
What you need to open one
- A valid ID document.
- Your tax identification number.
- A bank account in your name for transfers.
- About how long it takes for the form and the identity check.
