Our U.S. broker partner does not accept third-party portfolio transfer requests.

Remember to check if your current broker charges fees to transfer shares out of their platform.

Transfers can sometimes be delayed due to discrepancies with personal details, stock codes or unforeseen issues with your outgoing broker. We strive to process transfer requests as quickly as possible.

U.S. stocks usually land in your Stake account within 2-3 weeks from a confirmed submission. The transfer time varies based on how responsive your current platform is. DTC transfers can take up to 4-6 weeks and ACATS transfers can take up to 1-2 weeks.

Note that shares in your outgoing account must settle before being transferred. If they have not, please wait 2 trading days from your most recent buy/sell transaction before initiating a request. Otherwise, there may be a delay in the transfer process.
