FAQ Section

How do I get reimbursed for my other broker’s transfer fees?

For each minimum transfer of $2,000, we will reimburse the transfer fees from your other broker, up to $75. To get reimbursed, please contact our support team at support@tastytrade.com. You will receive reimbursement in your account within 2 weeks from the request.

Do you charge a fee to transfer from another broker?

We don’t charge an incoming ACATS fee. But the transferring firm may charge an outgoing ACATS fee.

Why is there still money left in my account at another firm after I transferred?

This is common. Dividend or interest payments may occur in your other brokerage account after the transfer was completed. If you requested a full transfer, any remaining cash balance from the other brokerage account will be transferred over automatically in scheduled residual sweeps. 

Can I transfer my IRA account to tastytrade?

Yes, you can transfer a traditional or roth IRA using the same method. To start the account transfer, sign in to your account at tastytrade.com, go to My Money, select Deposits, and then click the By ACATS tab.

What if I want to transfer a joint account or an entity account such as an LLC account or a Trust account?

Fill out our simple ACATS form to transfer a joint or entity account. You would need the same type of an account at tastytrade. If you need a little help, see our instructions.

How long does a tastytrade transfer take?

Typically, ACATS transfers take 7-10 business days.
