Cash management accounts are becoming increasingly popular, particularly on the international scene. So, what is a CMA?

If you conduct most or all of your banking online, you’re likely familiar with the kinds of features that a CMA has to offer. Basically, it’s a cash account that combines services and benefits that are similar to checking, debit card and investment accounts under one product.

Often, CMAs are able to offer low or no fees thanks to the low overhead of online-only services and assistance. Who needs to come face-to-face with a teller anymore anyway?

In this fast-paced world, a Firstrade Cash Management Account provides you the flexibility to trade, access and spend your money all in one account. Your cash will be in the same account as your trading funds, so you won’t miss any market opportunities when it comes to trading wherever you are.
