A settlement account is a linked bank account used to manage the money going in and out of your trading account. When you buy or sell shares, a process called T+2 settlement takes place where ownership of the shares is exchanged for money between the buyer and seller. This occurs on the second business day after the trade takes place. See ‘Am I eligible?’ FAQ for eligible settlement accounts for CommSec Pocket.
When you trade through the app, you’ll pay $2 each time you invest or sell up to $1,000.
Trades over $1,000 are charged at 0.20% of the trade value. For example, a $1,100 trade will cost you $2.20 ($1,100 x 0.20%) Find out more about rates and fees here.
