How can I quickly copy charts to share in an investing blog or the Scottrade Online Community?
Create up to three personalized home pages that match your investment strategy with your new custom Home tab. For example, you could choose to create a home page dedicated to monitoring potential investments and include all your watch lists on that page. Or, you could create a home page for your account management strategy and include all your balance information, positions and open and completed orders. Read Your Custom Home Tab for help creating a home page that displays your information, your way.
The Transfer Funds feature on OptionsFirst allows customers to electronically transfer funds into their account, as well as Wire Transfer funds out of and/or request a check out of their account directly from the OptionsFirst platform.
To electronically deposit funds, you will need to establish an ACH relationship with the bank of your choice. This can be done online by first selecting the 'Establish a New Relationship' link on the bottom right of the Transfer Funds tab. Enter your bank Account and Routing number. After that, two small deposits will be made to your bank account. You will need to verify the amounts of those deposits under the transfer funds tab to establish the relationship. Once this relationship is established, you may request transfers to your brokerage account. These transfers take three business days.
To withdraw funds from your account, you may request a Wire Transfer or check. Wire transfers can be sent to accounts at the bank of your choice; you will simply need to enter the bank name and account and routing numbers. If you request a check, you just need to enter the request amount, and a check will be mailed to the address on file.
If you have any questions regarding transferring funds to and from your OptionsFirst account, please contact a representative at 1-877-223-3344 or by email at OptionsFirst@scottrade.com.
