Client Account Funding

Clients are responsible for funding their accounts; Fully Disclosed Brokers cannot initially fund client accounts. However, Fully Disclosed Brokers can enter wire and check deposit notifications for their client accounts on the Fund Transfers page in Account Management.

Deposits to client accounts can be made in a number of ways, including Wire, Check, ACATS, etc. In order to prevent any delays in an account's funding, it is important that your clients complete the funding information portion of the application.

In addition, it is important for both you and your client to understand the credit periods for deposits as this will determine when you will be able to start trading. The credit period varies based on the method which is used for the deposit made. For example, checks require seven business days after they are deposited, while a wire transfer may be credited as quickly as the same day.
