Security Center
The protection of one's personal information is the type of thing that every
online trader needs to be able to take for granted. At optionsXpress, we consider
it to be among our most important responsibilities.
We continuously work to bring you industry leading products and services. But more than that, we strive to bring you a secure trading environment where the privacy and security of your personal and account information is safe.
Financial Security
We are a member of SIPC, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which protects against losses caused by the financial failure of the broker-dealer, but not against losses resulting from depreciation in a security's value. Your optionsXpress accounts are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), up to $500,000 (including up to $100,000 for cash claims).
Additionally, optionsXpress at its own initiative, and at no additional cost to you, has secured excess SIPC coverage offering your account additional account protection beyond SIPC's limits. optionsXpress' excess SIPC policy covers in the aggregate up to $100,000,000 each and every loss, subject to a maximum limit of $24,500,000 per customer, $900,000 of which may be cash.
