tastyworks account types

tastyworks offers two types of accounts for individuals: cash and margin accounts. With a margin account, you can use leverage, which means you can borrow money from the broker to trade.

Retirement accounts are available for US citizens. You can choose between traditional, self-employed (SEP), Roth, or beneficiary (inherited) IRAs.

Based on ownership, you can open the following account types:

Individual account - account owned by an individual
Joint account - account owned by more than one person
Corporate and trust account - account owned by a legal entity (available only in the US)

In our tastyworks review, we tested the individual margin account, called 'The Works'.

tastyworks account base currencies

Unfortunately, tastyworks clients can only trade in one currency, which is the USD.

This matters because if you deposit funds in currencies other than the base currency, your money will be converted into USD.

To save on conversion fees, you can open a multi-currency bank account. Revolut or Transferwise both offer bank accounts in several currencies with great currency exchange rates as well as free or cheap international bank transfers. Opening an account only takes a few minutes on your phone. You can read more about brokerage fees in this article.
