Opening a Brokerage Account

Our app is the only teen/child money management app which includes the option to invest in real stock without paying for an upgrade. Our platform allows a child the chance to learn how to invest in over 4,000 listed companies and ETFs through fractional shares of real stock. A parent starts by opening a free brokerage account with Apex Fintech Brokerage Services by tapping the Save/Invest area. Once approved, a child can choose what to invest in, but the parent is actually making the investment.

Error Message During Enrollment - If you receive an error message after trying to open a brokerage account, it may be because the information you entered did not pass our legally required identity verification, or because there is a credit freeze or fraud alert on your credit reports.

Common data errors—such as misspelled names, incorrect date of birth, address, or Social Security number—can usually be resolved by providing a photo of your current driver’s license. If you have a credit freeze or fraud alert, you will need to temporarily lift the freeze with all three credit bureaus and notify our support team. Please note, we do not conduct credit checks.

If you received an error message because of a credit freeze or fraud alert and have now lifted it, contact our support team at help@busykid.com or use the chat feature in the app to continue with your application.
