We may pass-through, or request fees for manual, complex or risk-involved services like foreign securities custody, Rule 144 sales, special investment products, free stock transfers, COD transactions, and other institutional or non-automated services. Cashiering services such as overnight delivery, returned checks, returned ACH transactions, and stop payments may also incur fees.

Additionally, we pass on regulatory levies on the sales of equity transactions at a current rate of $19.20 charged for every $1,000,000.00 in sales. This fee is listed on your official trade confirmation if applicable.
