PEA Transfer
Instructions
A PEA refers to a Plan d’Epargne en Actions, which is a tax-efficient investment wrapper for residents of France. It allows French investors to buy and sell European securities with preferential conditions. This account contains both a securities account and a cash account. The cash account is debited when a security is purchased, and credited when a security is sold or a company pays dividends.
We offer the ability to transfer PEA accounts held with other brokers (delivering broker/ceding broker) into your account here. In order to do so, please follow the steps outlined below.

Click Transfer & Pay > Transfer Funds > Transfer from Another Broker
