About Self-Directed Margin Accounts
All customers start out with margin account, although you need to subscribe to Axos Elite to activate margin trading capability. Even if you never borrow money in your account, this account type is still classified as a “margin” account from a regulatory standpoint. As a result, it will appear as such on your annual tax documents and monthly account statements. Customers can opt out of a margin trading account at any time by sending us a secure message after logging in to their account.
