This is how you open a book-entry account and the saver’s or investor’s service package

You will get access to a book-entry account and securities custody by opening an investment service package. Our services for stock investors consist of two packages depending on trading activity. Both of them automatically include securities custody and a book-entry account. Both service packages also include extensive, high-quality Finnish equity research service.

Select the Saver’s service package if you trade less actively and if comprehensive, high-quality basic services are sufficient for you.

Select the Investor’s service package if you trade on a weekly basis or more frequently or wish to track the stock market in real time. If you wish, you can supplement this package with more extensive real-time market information than included in the standard package at an additional fee.

You can easily open a book-entry account and service package by leaving a contact request. We will be in touch with you within a few business days.

If you transfer your securities custody to us from another custodian, please prepare for an interruption in your equity trading for five business days.
