*Bulking refers to multiple trades in the same stock on any one day, all being aggregated to the one confirmation note. Any number of orders can be entered any number of times during the day, with only two notes being produced (one Buy and one Sell) and the brokerage charged based on the total value of each note. Orders spread over more than one day will incur an additional charge for each day traded (unless cancelled beforehand).

FAQs

Your Questions Answered

How do I deposit and withdraw funds?

Depositing funds is easy! Online accounts can simply deposit funds into their Macquarie CMAs. There is no need to deposit funds for Phone accounts, as we have a direct debit in place. However, you may transfer funds into our trust account, where we will credit your Amscot account. To withdraw funds, please login to your Amscot account and Request a Funds Transfer.

What bank can I use?

Online accounts will need to have a Macquarie CMA, in order for your cash balance to be uploaded to Iress each day. Phone accounts may use any Australian bank (must allow direct debit).

Where can I download my (Tax?) reports?

EOFY reports can be downloaded by logging into your Amscot account. Please click ‘Tools’ and select the relevant report type to download and date range.

How do I transfer holdings into my Amscot account?
  • If your shares are held with another broker, you will need to fill out the Broker to
    Broker transfer form
  • If your shares are held with the Share Registry, you will need to fill out the
    Issuer Sponsor to CHESS Sponsor form
  • This transfer is free of charge, as long as your details (i.e. account name) match exactly. Otherwise, you will need to fill out the Off Market Transfer form ($55 per holding)
