Account Types
There is no minimum to open a new account; however, a $250 deposit is required to be considered for margin and certain options privileges, regardless of any promotional offer.
Opening an account online is the fastest way to open and fund an account. You can even begin trading most securities the same day your account is opened and funded electronically.
EZ Trades offers a comprehensive and diverse selection of investment products. You can trade stocks, options, mutual funds, ETFs, futures, forex, and bonds and CDs in a standard account. Each plan will specify what types of investments are allowed. See Account Types for more information.
We believe in fair, straightforward pricing and for you that means $0.00 commissions on online exchange listed US stock, domestic and Canadian ETF, and option trades, regardless of account balance or how many shares you buy. For options trades a $0.65 per contract fee applies. You won’t be charged any platform, inactivity, or market data fees.
