PanBay Account Type

PanBay offers a variety of brokerage accounts tailored to different investment needs. The main types of accounts include:

• Cash Accounts: These are the most basic type of brokerage account where investors fund their accounts with cash and use that money to purchase and sell securities. Cash accounts are simple and carry lower risks.

• Margin Accounts: These accounts allow investors to borrow money from the broker to purchase securities, providing leverage to buy more than what is possible with just the cash on hand. However, this increases the risk of losses and requires maintaining a minimum balance.

• Retirement Accounts: Specialized accounts designed for tax-deferred savings to help investors save for retirement. Contributions can be made with pre-tax money, and gains are not taxed until withdrawals are made.

• Education Savings Accounts: These accounts enable investors to save for educational expenses, offering tax-deferred savings specifically for education.

• Joint Accounts: Accounts held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool funds and invest together. Both parties can access and trade from the account.

• Prop Trading Accounts: A type of account offered through proprietary trading firms, allowing traders to use the firm's capital after passing a qualification process.
