How does Selfwealth work
You can create an account with Selfwealth on their website and after verifying your ID, fund your account to begin trading. The first minimum deposit for the ASX is $500.
Any trade made could take around two days to settle. You’ll get confirmation from the share registry that the shares are listed in your name.
Selfwealth allows you to create different types of accounts: individual, kid joint, company, or a trust account. Unlike Stockspot, Selfwealth charges fees on kids accounts.
Is Selfwealth Safe?
Customers of Selfwealth are issued with a unique holder identification number, or HIN. This means you have direct beneficial and legal ownership of shares that you buy through Selfwealth. This is the same model used at Stockspot where all client investments are held safely on their own HIN.
