Account transfer
You have the option of transferring your securities from your previous bank or online broker to FXFlat. You can use the "securities search" to check whether the securities you want to transfer are also tradable at FXFlat. Alternatively, you can send us a list of your securities and we will check this for you.
In order to transfer a securities account to FXFlat, you must already have opened an FXFlat brokerage account and can then enter the position transfer in the account management under "Transfer & Payments".
To speed up the process, please provide all information about your current depositary bank in advance.
