How to become an investor

Choose a broker

To conduct a transaction on BCSE, you need the services of a broker - a professional participant in the securities market. The list of brokers can be found on the website of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Belarus.

Suggestion: when choosing a broker, pay attention to the size of his commissions for making transactions, the presence of a trading terminal, as well as the possibility of remote deposit of a brokerage account.

Conclude an agreement and deposit broker`s account
Carefully study the brokerage contract offered by the broker.

Suggestion: Pay attention to the commission for depositing a broker's account for buying securities and commissions for withdrawing funds received from the sale of securities.

Open a depo account
Your securities will be deposited on the special account called a depo account. The custodian may be a separate company that is not affiliated with your broker. However, your broker can combine these two functions.

Important! A separate fee may be charged for opening a securities account and for keeping securities.

Install the required software
The broker may offer you special software for remote orders submission for on-exchange transactions, for example, a mobile application for your phone.

Suggestion: if the broker does not have its own mobile application, ask him to connect you to a remote client terminal (RCT) developed by BCSE and to install it on your computer.

Study the market
Information about securities available for purchase, their quotes (with a 15-minute delay) and completed transactions is available free of charge on the BCSE website at: https://mobile.bcse.by/StockPublic.

Suggestion: for a small fee, active investors can receive quotes online (after registering in the Personal Account on the BCSE website).
