Security & Risks » Security Center

Account protection and the safety of personal information are the types of things that every online investor needs to be able to take for granted. At optionsXpress, we consider these to be among our most important responsibilities to our customers.

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 SIPC insured up to $500,000 (including up to $250,000 for cash claims). Please contact us for more details.
