EBI Account Type

　　EBI offers different types of brokerage accounts to cater to various investor needs. The primary account types include:

• 　　Cash Account: This account requires investors to pay the full amount for securities purchased. No borrowing is allowed, ensuring that all transactions are settled with available cash.

• 　　Margin Account: A margin account allows investors to borrow funds from the brokerage to purchase securities. This can provide greater purchasing power but also involves higher risk due to the potential for larger losses.

• 　　Managed Accounts: These accounts come with investment management from either a human advisor or a robo-advisor, allowing for a more hands-off investment approach.

• 　　Self-Directed Accounts: Ideal for experienced investors, these accounts give users full control over their investment decisions without the need for guidance from financial professionals.
