Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns the assets in a sub-account?

You do. As the primary account holder, you are the sole customer and legal owner of your primary account and all sub-accounts. You retain full ownership, all contractual rights, legal rights, beneficial interest, and control of all assets. You are fully responsible for all activity across all accounts.

Can I create multiple sub-accounts?

Yes. You can create as many sub-accounts as you need to plan and label your portfolio allocations.

Can I rename my sub-accounts?

Yes. You can set a nickname for each sub-account to easily identify it - for example, "Long-term holds", "School savings", or "Trading".

Can I withdraw from a sub-account?

Yes. You can deposit, trade, and withdraw from any sub-account independently.

Can I login directly to my sub-account?

Yes. You have separate credentials for each sub-account and you can login directly using the sub-account’s login credentials.

Is this a trust or custodial arrangement?

No. Sub-accounts are administrative features under your primary account. They do not create a trust, custodial arrangement, or separate legal ownership for any other person.

What can I use sub-accounts for?

Sub-accounts are flexible. You can use them to organise your portfolio, manage separate savings goals, plan family allocations, or structure your holdings in any way that suits your needs - all under your full ownership and control.
