Scottrade
August 20, 2007
I closed my Scottrade account in July. As usual, Scottrade have provided great service so the process was painless. I went into one of the branch office, told them I want to close the account. They made a call to my ‘home’ branch, they confirmed my name and address, and that’s it. Two days later, I received my check. No questions asked! Easy!
However, the fact Scottrade didn’t even asked for my driver’s license did made me a bit worry about their privacy and security policy. If say someone that knows my name and where I live, s/he could close the account and I wouldn’t know it till I received a check.

Interesting. It is surprising to me that they didn’t do much in the way of identity verification. When I originate loans for a person, I have to verify driver’s license, social security, current address, etc etc etc.
On a related note, do you have any experience with Just2Trade.com?
