Since the 1st of March, the government has allowed investors to transfer their tax-free investment accounts from one broker or service provider to another. Below is the process for Transferring from to or from Online Share Trading/Auto Share Invest.

 

Incoming Transfer - from another broker to Standard Online Share Trading:

  1. You must have a TFIA account opened.
