Frequently Asked Questions

What notice period applies to securities accounts?

Securities accounts can be cancelled at any time without a notice period. The closure takes place once all securities have been sold or transferred to another account. Open orders should be deleted beforehand.

Should I sell or transfer my securities?

A securities transfer is more tax-efficient, as no capital gains are realised and therefore no capital gains tax is incurred. Transfers between German banks have been free by law since 2004. Only sell if you want to dispose of the securities anyway.

What happens with fractional shares and foreign securities?

Fractional shares (e.g. 0.5 units) cannot be transferred and must be sold before account closure. Foreign securities may not be transferable depending on the custodian — clarify this in advance with the new bank.
