How to transfer stocks to etrade
To transfer your account from one broker to another, you first need to fill out a Transfer Initiation Form. This form is then sent to your new broker. In many cases, it's possible to fill out one of these forms, online, with the new broker. This makes the process a little easier on you. Enter the amount of money you want to transfer into your E-Trade account and the requested date of the transfer, then click on the "Transfer" button. The screen will verify your request for an electronic money transfer. The next choice is to move funds via a wire transfer. This method can be used to move funds to a financial institution outside the U.S. The wire can be submitted either electronically or in paper format. There is a $25 fee for each outgoing wire. If the wire is sent in a foreign currency, E*Trade charges a forex fee of up to 2.25%.
