CommSecIRESS gives you the flexibility to subscribe on a calendar-monthly basis, giving you the choice to access month to month.
The first time you subscribe to CommSecIRESS you will be registering to use the service. Once you're registered, this will activate your first monthly subscription. You are required to re-confirm or update your details each calendar month that you choose to subscribe.
Before you subscribe to CommSecIRESS you need to have:
- A CommSec Client ID. Please note your Client ID is 8 digits long and begins with the number 5.
- A valid email address linked to your Client ID.
- Set up a Direct Debit facility on one of your trading accounts.
- Checked that your computer is ready to support CommSecIRESS. Please refer to the Technical Support FAQs.
The more you trade and the more accounts you link to your Client ID, the more opportunity you have to gain free CommSecIRESS access.
Your trading activity is recorded against your Client ID, so linking all your accounts to one Client ID ensures all your trades count towards your free subscription.
Make every trade count for your subscription
- The strategy.
-
John has two trading accounts. One is in his individual name and the other a joint account with his wife. Before John subscribes to CommSecIRESS he contacts the Client Service Officers and ensures both trading accounts are linked to his CommSec Client ID.
- The result.
-
John qualified for free access to CommSecIRESS for the calendar month because he placed 8 trades across both trading accounts when logged in with his Client ID.
For trades to qualify towards free CommSecIRESS access, you must place all trades using your Client ID.
Important note
Any trade you make on any account linked to that Client ID will be eligible and counted within the criteria, except trades placed via Phone Trader.
Trades placed via joint accounts that link to two or more Client IDs will only qualify for the Client ID that placed the trade.
