You may transfer your investment account from another brokerage firm to your LowTrades account by submitting an Account Transfer Form along with the most recent copy of your statement.

 Account Transfer Form 

Please submit all transfer requests to:

LowTrades
c/o Success Trade Securities Inc
1900 L Street NW Suite 301
Washington, DC 20036

Important notes for transferring your account:

  • Transfer Time
    Please allow 10-15 days for your account transfer to be processed. Transfers that are unable to be processed through the  ACAT system take approximately 3-4 weeks to complete.
  • Acceptable / Unacceptable Requests
    • For your protection, transfer from another brokerage firm will only be accepted if the Account Name/Title and Tax ID of your LowTrades account exactly match the information on the account your securities are being transferred from. Requests to transfer from an individual account at another brokerage into a joint account at LowTrades must be accompanied by a Letter of Authorization signed by the joint account holders. We do not accept requests to transfer from a joint account at another brokerage into an individual account at LowTrades.
    • We do not accept incoming transfers of OTC securities in the lower three market tiers:
      » OTC Pink No Information
      » Grey Market
      » Caveat Emptor
      In the event such positions are transferred in as a result of a full account transfer, you will be unable to sell them and they will need to be transferred out, as we do not allow trading in these securities.
  • Cash Accounts and IRA Accounts
    Many firms will charge an out-going account transfer and/or closing fees and debit the amount directly from the account. Please  be sure to check with your carrying firm to ensure that your account has enough cash available to cover these fees.
  • Margin Accounts
    If you are transferring an existing margin account with a debit balance, please make sure that your LowTrades account has  been approved for margin.
  • Mutual Funds
    Not all mutual funds can be held at all brokerage firms. In order to transfer a mutual fund, please check our Mutual Fund List for  the funds that our clearing firm currently have agreements with. Funds that cannot be held with us will need to be liquidated  prior to transferring.
