CUSPA is an account we have at the depository where we keep your securities if you have a negative balance and haven’t fully paid for your securities. If you don’t clear the negative balance within 5 days of buying the securities, we’ll sell your stocks held in CUSPA.

Note:

• You can’t move your stocks out of CUSPA until you’ve paid for them 
• Once you’ve paid, your holdings will be released from CUSPA at the end of the day (including settlement holidays) 
• You can sell your holdings even if they are in CUSPA 
• If we square off or sell your positions, you’ll be charged and other statutory charges 
• You still get corporate benefits even if your holdings are in CUSPA on the record date
