The Insured Bank Deposit Sweep Program systematically allocates your cash across numerous FDIC-insured program banks to ensure that your eligible balances are fully protected.For example, a deposit of $750,000 to an individually registered MEXEM account, in which there are no margin requirements and no short stock positions, will be protected as follows: the first $250,000 will be held at MEXEM (subject to SEC-mandated safeguards plus SIPC protection) and the remaining $500,000 will be spread across three program banks. $246,500 will be swept to each of the first two program banks and the remaining $7,000 will be swept to a third program bank. Sweeping only $246,500 rather than the respective FDIC coverage limit of $250,000 helps to ensure that any accrued (unpaid) interest is also protected by FDIC. Under this example, a subsequent deposit of an additional $50,000 will be automatically swept to the third program bank. Clients may sweep a total of $2,500,000 ($5,000,000 for joint accounts) into the Program. Combined with existing SIPC coverage on your first $250,000, your total available insurance will cover up to $2,750,000 ($5,250,000 for joint accounts). Cash balances above $2,750,000 ($5,250,000 for joint accounts) remain subject to safeguarding under the SEC's Customer Protection Rule 15c3-3, backed by the firm's equity capital (see our latest earnings release).If you need to withdraw funds, they will be withdrawn from the last position bank with funds first.To learn more about this program, please visit the Insured Bank Deposit Sweep Program page on our website.

An internal funds transfer request submitted during regular trading hours will transfer instantly.

Assuming the client has met the essential requirements which consider age, financial qualifications and investment objectives, their account will be assigned margin permissions at the point of application or, if managing a cash account and requesting an upgrade to margin, thereafter.Accounts assigned margin permissions will be afforded margin on eligible positions as long as the account equity remains above USD 2,000.Accounts which have margin permissions and equity above USD 2,000 are eligible for margin treatment and the determinants of how much margin is available to the client for a new order depends upon the account Equity with Loan Value and the margin requirement on the positions incorporated with the new order.

Third party deposits are defined as those deposits which originate from or are drawn upon an account at a financial institution which is titled in a name other than that of the receiving account holder(s).  Third party deposits also include deposits via cheque made payable to the account holder and endorsed over to MEXEM; however, MEXEM no longer accepts any cheque that is not made payable to MEXEM. Cheques payable to MEXEM for the benefit of an account holder, for example an IRA rollover deposit, are not considered third party deposits. Account holders who are uncertain as to whether a particular check qualifies for acceptance should contact MEXEM for clarification prior to remitting the check.

An ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfer is an electronic movement of funds through the ACH network.At MEXEM we provide US Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transfers Initiated at MEXEM. This is a request for MEXEM to transfer funds through the ACH network. Initiation of an ACH transfer enables you to automatically deposit funds from a US bank to MEXEM. You will be required to enter your bank's ABA number and your bank account number. If you do not know your bank's ABA number, you can enter the bank name and city and search for the correct ABA number. You will be required to verify each new instruction.At this time we do not support ACH transfers initiated at your bank.For additional information, please review the Funding Reference page on our website.

An ACH, while electronic, is similar to a cheque in that the funds are not guaranteed. As a result, they are subject to a hold period of 4 business days after arrival. The ACH deposit credit hold period is released at the time of U.S. regular market open on the 4th business day. MEXEM, as the originator of the transfer request, imposes this hold as it is obligated to return the funds to your bank, without recourse, should your bank later decide the transfer request to be unauthorized or in error. While your bank generally has the right to verify and request a return of funds well beyond MEXEM's hold period, past experience has proven a 4 business day hold sufficient in most instances. Note that ACH deposits are eligible for credit interest from the date the deposit arrives and through the hold period. Clients who need instant use of deposited funds are encouraged to use bank or broker wire transfers which are irrevocable and are therefore credited to your account and available for trading purposes instantly upon arrival. MEXEM does not charge for incoming wires for any currency with the exception of the Mexican Peso. Information on limitations, credit and withdrawal hold period for ACH deposits can be found on our website.

MEXEM allows one free withdrawal request per calendar month. Subsequent withdrawals, irrespective of the method, are charged a fee. The fee charged depends upon the denomination of the currency withdrawn and the withdrawal method. Please see the MEXEM website for details. For purposes of determining the number of withdrawal requests occurring in a given month, MEXEM uses the date at which the client submits the withdrawal request and not the date at which the withdrawal was processed. Accordingly, a client who submits a withdrawal request on the first and last days of the same month will be assessed a fee for the second request even if that request is processed on the first day of the following month

When depositing funds on your Mexem account, it generaly takes 1-3 working days. You need to always mention your Mexem account number as a reference, otherwise it may take longer.
