Please note that a securities account transfer is a complex process in which several parties are involved and the securities to be transferred may have different depositories. As a result, the transfer may take a few weeks.
Only securities that are tradable in the Scalable Broker can be transferred. Also, only whole shares of securities can be transferred, not fractional securities. Employee shares are excluded from the transfer. Please also be aware that we can only accept securities from accounts with a German IBAN.
To ensure that all securities to be transferred are also tradable in the Scalable Broker, you specify all positions individually. This also applies if you intend to transfer your entire securities account. Securities that are not specified are excluded from the transfer and remain in the selling securities account.
Only transfers of securities in German custody accounts can be accepted, as these are connected to the local settlement and custody services provider called Clearstream.
The transferring securities account have to be in your name. An incoming transfer from a joint or third-party securities account (creditor change) is not possible.
The display of the acquisition data, according to the deposit documents, may be delayed by a few bank working days after the deposit. In the case of a securities account transfer, all acquisition prices and tax-relevant data are supplied by the transferring bank. These will be accepted and deposited by our custodian bank.
All acquisition values are delivered by the delivering bank to our custodian bank. You can find the delivered data in the deposit receipts in your mailbox. If the data on the receipts is not correct, please contact the delivering bank in this regard.
Trading of the securities being transferred is not possible during a securities account transfer.
