What is a Margin Account?
A margin account is an account that allows you to borrow money against the net equity of your account for the trading of specific securities. All clients by default trade on a cash basis on usdirect. Based on the trading history and performance of clients, TAIB could offer margin trading to certain select clients. This offer is purely at TAIB’s discretion.
A margin account is a type of account that allows investors to use the marketable securities held in their accounts as collateral for a loan to purchase more securities. A margin account brings with it certain obligations for repayment which you should be familiar with. Please see our glossary for more details on how a margin account works and speak to one of our representatives if you are interested in opening one. Our Online Credit policy also provides information on margin accounts.
