Intan offers various types of trading accounts to cater to different investor needs. The primary account types include:
Cash Accounts: In a cash account, investors can only purchase securities using the cash available in the account. This type of account does not allow borrowing funds for investments.
Margin Accounts: A margin account allows investors to borrow money from the broker to purchase securities. This enables investors to buy more shares than they could with just their cash balance. However, this comes with increased risk, as investors may face margin calls if the value of their investments declines significantly.
Custodial Accounts: These accounts are set up for minors, where an adult custodian manages the investments until the minor reaches the age of majority.
Opening an account with Intan is a straightforward process that typically involves the following steps:
Choose the Account Type: Decide whether you want a cash account or a margin account based on your investment strategy and risk tolerance.
Complete the Application: Fill out the online application form, providing necessary personal information such as your name, address, social security number, and financial details.
Submit Identification: You may need to provide identification documents to verify your identity. This could include a government-issued ID and proof of address.
Fund Your Account: After your application is approved, you will need to fund your account. You can usually link your bank account for electronic transfers or send a check.
Start Trading: Once your account is funded, you can begin trading. If you opted for a margin account, ensure you understand the risks associated with margin trading before making investments.
