Before you can start trading with Tradesk, we need to collect some personal information to proceed. As a registered broker-dealer, we’re required by federal law, as well as by regulatory organizations like the SEC and FINRA, to follow strict identity verification procedures. These rules help protect everyone by preventing fraud, stopping financial crime, and keeping markets safe and secure.
We follow the guidelines set by the USA PATRIOT Act and other regulations to ensure we meet our "Know Your Customer" (KYC) obligations. That means we must verify the identity of anyone opening an account, maintain records of that information, and check whether individuals appear on any government lists related to terrorism or financial crime.
