Hi,
Does anyone know why an EasyEquities user has to complete a W-8BEN Form "This form is a requirement of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to invest in U.S. equities" or be blocked from transacting? I would have thought it was only if the user holds a US account, not just local shares or ETFs. Are there any competitors to EE that don't require this? Thank you!
