CMC Markets charge a transfer out fee of $100 per holding on international listed products. Each holding must be over AU$10,000 in order to transfer the shares off platform.

A fee of $55 per holding applies for Australian listed products, where the stock transfer is leaving CMC Markets to another broker, Issuer sponsored holding or between CMC accounts.


It only takes a few minutes to submit a share transfer request from CMC Markets to Stake, then we do all the heavy lifting. Processing times differ for ASX and Wall St transfers.

For ASX transfers: once all necessary documents are submitted, stocks will typically reach your Stake HIN within 40 hours.

For Wall St transfers: depending on the responsiveness of CMC Markets, U.S. share transfers can take up to 4-6 weeks from a confirmed submission.

We do everything in our power to make the transfer as seamless as possible, however, there can be delays due to unforeseen circumstances that are beyond our control. We’ll keep you informed of any updates should there be cause for delay.


Stake does not charge a fee to bring your shares over from CMC Markets to our platform. Ensure you check with your outgoing platform as they may charge additional fees for a transfer.
