Starting from May 2, 2025, the ability to purchase new securities in these accounts will also be suspended, alongside the introduction of any administrative fees that may ensue from account maintenance.

Previously, the company had communicated the discontinuation of margin account services effective December 20, 2024, yet assured that cash balance accounts will continue to operate without disruption. However, trading of Deposita​ry Receipt linked to the European Union market (DR EU) will be halted as of February 3, 2025.

Meanwhile, instruments tied to the Asian markets (DR Asia) will remain unaffected and continue as part of the company’s standard offerings.
