Follow the instructions below to transfer equities into your Euro Pacific Trader account, whose custodian and technology provider is Interactive Brokers1. Qualified equities include stocks, bonds, and ETFs.
Transfer Procedure
1. Gather your compliance documentation
We will need:
- Share Transfer Agreement
- Brokerage statements listing all of your positions to be transferred, your name, and account number, going back as far as possible
- Statement of bank account that originally funded your current brokerage account (source of funds)
2. Gather your transfer details
We will need:
- Sending broker’s name (Company)
- Account name at sending broker
- Account number at sending broker
- Name of contact person or department that handles transfers
- Email address of broker or transfer department
- If your brokerage statement doesn’t state each position’s Name, Symbol, Quantity, and ISIN, please provide us a list of this data
3. Email us the above
After gathering all of the documents and information above, please email it to [email protected] for compliance pre-approval.
4. Wait for our pre-approval
Our Trading Support team will confirm whether the Euro Pacific Trader supports your proposed securities.
To expedite the pre-approval process, please cross-check your securities against our Contract & Securities Search Tool yourself, and let us know if your securities are found. You can also bookmark this page and use it to find securities in the future.
Note: Due to certain regulatory restrictions, some securities may not be transferable.
5. Transfer is initiated with your broker
We will forward the information to our brokerage custodian, who will initiate contact with your sending broker. Transfer times vary greatly, depending on how responsive your broker’s transfer department can communicate with ours. The average transfer takes 1-2 weeks, but may take longer.
Note: Please notify your broker that Interactive Brokers will be contacting them to initiate the securities transfer. In the meantime, please refrain from trading in the sending account to prevent complications.
6. Check the status of your transfer
Interactive Brokers may or may not notify us when the transfer is complete, so we recommend that you check your sending brokerage account periodically to confirm the securities have left.
