Opening Your Account

With digital account opening, investing has never been easier.
We want you to have a seamless experience, which starts with setting appropriate expectations. Please read the entire list and only begin signup when you have gathered the required information.

If you have all of the items below, registration should take 15-25 minutes. Because it is a simple signup, you will not be able to save and return, or move forward if you do not have everything. Please contact us if you have questions so that we can prevent frustration.

We currently offer a wide range of accounts types. If the type of account you wish to open is not listed during the account setup, please contact us. Please be certain of your account registration: funding the wrong type (i.e, an individual when you meant IRA) may have tax implications. If you are unsure what type of account fits your situation, please contact us prior to account setup to confirm.

We suggest completing registration on a laptop or desktop computer browser.

Gather

  • Your basic information (DOB, SSN, address, employer info)*
  • If you are opening a retirement account you need the SSN and DOB of your primary beneficiary and DOB of contingent beneficiaries
  • Your household Annual Income and Net Worth
  • If you are transferring an existing account, you will need a recent statement
  • If you are funding with a deposit from your bank, you will need the routing & account numbers
