​How To Open An Account?

How Do I Start?

First you need to open a Funding Account and a UCPB Securities Settlement Account (USSA) at your nearest UCPB Branch

Funding Account (any UCPB Current or Savings Account) 

• You will use this account to fund your USSA.
• If you already have an active UCPB account, you may just designate this as your Funding Account.

UCPB Securities Settlement Account (USSA)
​

• All the funds in this account will be "swept" to your MyStocks Account daily in the morning to fund your trading needs for the day, and where unused funds will be returned to at the end of the day.
• The USSA is a new account that has to be opened and designated solely for MyStocks funding.
• There is no minimum maintaining balance required for this account. However, the balance in this account should not remain zero for 30 days.
• Funds from your USSA may be withdrawn and transferred to your Funding Account through online fund transfer via UCPB Connect (for individuals) or UCPB CM.Biz (for corporations).
• Over-the-counter withdrawals are not allowed for the USSA.
• Requirements for the USSA:

            a. UCPB Savings Account 
            *If you already have an active regular UCPB account, you may use this as your Funding
              Account/Mother Account
