What documents do I need to start trading US stocks on the NYSE?

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is one of the world’s largest marketplaces for securities and other exchange-traded investments.

The NYSE uses an auction-based system in which brokers auction shares of stock for the highest price they can get, either on a physical trading floor or an electronic system.

To trade US stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), corporate and trust accounts are required to be registered on the NYSE website in addition to submitting the W-8BEN E form. This can be done by completing and submitting an NYSE form, followed by a 3rd Party Billing Addendum. Please ensure that you complete both forms to successfully trade shares on the NYSE.
