ACCOUNT OPENING FOR LSIs WITH NO EXISTING TRADING ACCOUNT OR NOCD SUB-ACCOUNT

 

Applicants may apply for opening of a securities trading account and a NoCD sub-account with the default Eligible TP and nominate the entity as its endorsing "PSE Trading Participant" on PSE EASy prior to the submission of the PSE EASy registration.

Default Eligible TP/Broker Website
BPI Securities Corporation ( "BPI Sec") https://www.bpitrade.com

The list of other Eligible TPs from which the applicants may choose to open a securities trading account with, and nominate as its endorsing "PSE Trading Participant" can be found in the following link: https://www.pse.com.ph/real-estate-investment-trust/#reits3. Note, however, that not all Eligible TPs may be registered in PSE Easy.

Applicants are encouraged to process the opening of the trading account as soon as possible, taking into account each broker's requirements and processing time. The account opening instructions for the default broker can be found in the web link provided above.


 

Applicants must ensure that the account information provided to PSE EASy and the nominated broker are consistent to ensure the successful validation of the applicant's PSE EASy account by the nominated broker (or the endorsing "PSE Trading Participant").
