Transfer Stocks
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
- Cetera Financial (RHF) and CeteraCrypto (RHC) are separate entities; RHF is a registered broker/dealer that supports equities and options trading, while RHC supports cryptocurrency trading.
- Securities in your RHF account are eligible to be transferred through the Automated Customer Account Transfers Service (ACATS) to other brokerages.
- You can decide whether you want to transfer all your eligible securities in a full ACAT transfer, or only some in a partial ACAT transfer.
- After you complete a full ACAT transfer, we’ll close your Cetera account.
- There is a $75 fee for partial and full ACATS out of Cetera.
- Cryptocurrency held with Cetera Crypto is not currently transferable to other brokerages.
- If you request a full ACAT transfer, RHC will automatically liquidate any cryptocurrency holdings and RHF will transfer the cash proceeds to the other brokerage in a residual transfer.
How does an account transfer work?
You can transfer stocks and cash to other brokerages through ACATS (Automated Customer Account Transfer Service) transfer. If you want to keep your Ceteraaccount, you can initiate a partial transfer. Otherwise, you can initiate a full transfer, and we’ll close your account once the process is complete.
Note that there is a $75 fee to transfer your assets out of Cetera whether as a partial or full transfer.
Before You Initiate the Transfer
Be sure to resolve any account restrictions or negative balances in your account prior to requesting a transfer, or your transfer may be delayed.
How to Initiate a Transfer
To begin the process, you'll need to contact your other brokerage and have them initiate the transfer. They’ll submit the transfer instructions to our clearing partner to transfer over your assets and funds.
