I have used our local office once. Nice to have the option.
This is an exciting time to be part of Scottrade® and TD Ameritrade®. On September 18, 2017, our two firms officially joined together as one organization.
Better together.
Although we're one company, we'll continue to operate as two separate firms until we convert all Scottrade accounts to TD Ameritrade. Over the coming months, we'll be working hard behind the scenes to provide you the best experience. Staying focused on the here and now, and not just the future, will be at the heart of our efforts. That means being clear and transparent and making sure you always know what to expect.
Let's start with what this means for you right now.
•
Business as usual. Continue to use your same accounts, invest and manage your money as you do today and only use Scottrade branches for now. You'll continue to be served under the Scottrade name until operations are combined and accounts are seamlessly transferred to TD Ameritrade. We expect this to take place in early 2018.
•
No change to your low commission rates. Continue to benefit from our low $6.95 base commission rate.
•
Exceptional service and support. You remain at the center of everything we do – on the phone, online and in person. We plan to maintain hundreds of branches across the country. In some cases, where there are TD Ameritrade and Scottrade branches close together, branches may be consolidated. We'll keep you informed as decisions are made.
•
What's ahead. There's a lot to look forward to. TD Ameritrade was ranked #1 Overall Broker in StockBrokers.com 2017 Online Broker Review. TD Ameritrade also ranked #1 in several categories, including: Smartphone App, Desktop Platform, Mobile Trading New Tool, Trader Community, Platforms & Tools, Offering of Investments, and Education. We believe these tools will provide you with the best investing experience in the industry.
•
Watch for more information. If you have accounts with Scottrade Bank, you'll receive a separate communication.
We want to help.
We know that this is a time when we need to exceed your expectations in every way possible and continue to reward the trust you've put in us. We promise to keep you fully informed as we work to combine our operations and seamlessly transition accounts in early 2018.
