ACATS (Automated Customer Account Transfer Service) is a system that automates and standardizes procedures for the transfer of assets in a customer account from one brokerage firm to another. The service reduces operating costs and speeds up transaction settlements.

Transfer Tips

  • Only listed U.S. stocks, ADRs, ETFs and options are accepted.
  • Webull supports individual cash, margin accounts, traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs and Rollover IRAs only.
  • The name and type of the delivering account must be identical to the receiving account's name and type. Transfer may be delayed if your outgoing account type differs from your Webull account.
  • Your outgoing broker may charge you for the ACAT transfer (the specific amount of fees varies by broker).Webull does not support account transfers of assets below $500 due to the high cost of the transfer. The alternative cost-free option, is to liquidate your positions at your current broker, withdraw the funds to your bank and deposit those funds to Webull.
  • If you choose full transfer, all your assets (including all positions and cash) will be transferred to Webull. Please note that only U.S. dollars are accepted, and make sure the securities you transfer to Webull are all supported and tradable at Webull.

What Brokers can I Transfer from?

Dozens of brokers support ACATS transfers.

  • If your broker is not listed, please slide to the bottom, click “Other Broker” and you can find other brokers who accept ACATS by searching the broker’s name or DTC number.
  • If you confirm your outgoing broker supports ACATS but can’t be searched for in the Webull App, please contact us. We will add your broker into our ACATS list for future stock transfers.

What Kind of Securities can I Transfer to my Webull Account?

Most U.S. listed equities, ADRs, ETFs and options are supported. (Currently Webull does not support bonds, mutual funds, pink sheets and penny stocks on the OTC market). Please make sure whether the specific security you would like to transfer is tradable or not on Webull with the following method:

  • Login to Webull
  • Tap on the “Search” box in the top right of the Watchlist or Market pages.
  • Search the symbol or stock name you want to transfer.
  • Go to the stock detail page of each stock. If there is a "Trade" button on the bottom navigation bar, it means this stock is tradable on Webull. If there is not “Trade” button, this means this stock is not available to trade at this time.

All investments involve risks and are not suitable for every investor. The value of securities may fluctuate, and as a result clients may lose more than their original investment. Margin trading increases the risk of loss and clients’ losses may exceed the deposits paid. The past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. While diversification may help spread risk, it does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a down market.
