How to open a MERJ Account?

Registration Guide: Set up your MERJ Account and start trading

Note: transferring PKF and Amalga customers please also review the email sent to you on 23 August for instructions and options for transferring your account.  

Option 1: Direct Participation

MERJ offers the following two direct account options:

1. CSD Account (view only): The Central Securities Depository (CSD) Account permits investors to view current holdings, but not buy or sell (i.e. trade) any securities.

2. Trading Account: For investors knowledgeable with trading applications, you may open an account directly with MERJ providing you with direct access to trade on the exchange. 

Important: Please note that MERJ does not provide advice on specific securities or in person support.  You or someone you trust to assist you with operating your account must have experience with self-directed investing on similar platforms (e.g. those offered by online stockbrokers) with guidance from articles in this MERJ Support Portal.  For all others, you should select Option 2 below.  

Note:  MERJ is only accepting new Direct Trading Account applications from transferring customers of Amalga and PKF.  This is anticipated to open back up to others by 1 October 2024.  

Option 2: MERJ Members

You may also choose to open an account with any MERJ Member listed here

This option is more suitable for those who require more personalized services and/or the additional products and services offered by our Members.
