• Check terms of agreement: The stock broker will hand an agreement form for signatures. Check the agreement for PoA (Power of Attorney). This gives the stock broker the right to trade on your behalf. There’s no need for you to sign giving the stock broker the power to transfer funds to and from bank account.
