Finance Central Brokerage Account
Standard brokerage account definition
A standard brokerage account is a taxable account that gives you the opportunity to hold, buy or sell financial assets with respect to your financial goals. This brokerage account allows you to contribute and withdraw money at any time and for any reasons without charges. You’ll enjoy more benefits with a brokerage account compared to leaving it in the bank or spending it impulsively.
Brokerage account shared ownerships
There are two types of brokerage account you can choose from when you want to open a brokerage account. They’re the individual brokerage account and the joint brokerage account. The joint brokerage account is a great choice if you want to contribute money along with someone else, usually a spouse or a family member. You may have a mutual financial goal like buying a property or making a difference.
Individual brokerage account
An individual brokerage account is owned by you alone. No one else is allowed to fund it except you.
Joint brokerage account
A joint brokerage account gives access to two or more individuals. Even though it is popular among married couples. Business partners, siblings, parents and children, lovers and colleagues can also benefit from it. As far as you and your fellow investor share the same financial goals, a joint account is a good fit. Let’s explore the three types of brokerage accounts.
Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship(JTWROS): in this type of account, all tenants(everyone registered with the account) have a right to the account assets, and if one owner holder dies, the tenant(s) who is alive will be granted survivorship rights to the assets.
Tenant in Common (TIC): where one or more tenants have shared ownership rights to a real estate or a piece of land. If one account holder dies, the survivor will not receive the rights of the deceased’s asset, the estate will receive the share instead.
Community Property: account made strictly for married couple where all the assets are split equally by both parties during the duration of their marriage. If one owner dies, the deceased share of the asset will go to the states. But this kind of account is only available in nine states of the USA- Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Louisiana, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, and Winscosin.

Not everyone is qualified to trade options, therefore, to get access to the Finance Service Limited Option feature, you’ll need to meet some eligibility requirement before you’ll be approved to use trade options from your account.
