10.Closing your account
To close your account all instruments must be sold, and all cash proceeds transferred to your linked transactional account. If your holdings are currently worth less than R100, they will need to be donated as the brokerage cost would exceed the value of the share. Alternatively, you could transfer the shares over to another service provider should you want to hold the share. All outstanding fees must also be settled before the account can be closed.
If you are transferring your shares to another service provider, the transfer process must be complete prior to account closure. Should you wish to close your account or commence a transfer out please contact 087 346 8378 or email shareinvesting@fnb.co.za.
