Can I get Internet Access on my existing Stocktrade Dealing Account?

We can provide Internet access on some Deposit Account accounts. If you already have a CREST or Nominee Account with a Deposit Account after giving us some additional information we will send you a Username so you can Log-on to the internet site. You will then be able to view your portfolio and trade online. Unfortunately we cannot offer internet access on a Certificated dealing account.
