How to buy a security
Updated over a week ago

With FlexInvest, you can invest in hundreds of stocks, ETFs, and ETPs from the palm of your hand. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Head over to the Explore tab to find the security you want to buy. You can use the search bar at the top or look for it in the listed categories.

  2. Select the security you're interested in and tap on the Buy button at the bottom of your screen.

  3. Use the button at the top right corner of your screen to select "Shares" to purchase whole shares, or "Amount" to use a specific monetary amount. Keep in mind that by choosing “Amount,” you will be purchasing fractional shares and not necessarily a whole share.

  4. Enter the number of shares you want to buy or the monetary amount you want to use for your transaction.

  5. Double-check the summary of your order and tap on the Submit button once everything is ok.

Remember to add funds to your FlexInvest account and make sure you have enough buying power before starting your buying process.
