Lesson 6

Opening a Brokerage Account

Sahmino editorial· 10 July· 2 min read· Stocks

Entering an exchange requires an identified customer, an account with an authorised intermediary and an understood trading agreement. Keep identity verification separate from funding and order placement. Start from SEJAM and Central Securities Depository of Iran’s official addresses, then verify the broker’s current authorisation through the regulator. Do not send identity documents or one-time codes through unsolicited messages. The official Iranian portals could not be retrieved during this lesson’s review, so exact fees, required forms and approval timings must be checked there before acting.

Worked example (hypothetical)

Your identity is approved but your brokerage cash balance is zero. Approval does not constitute an order or an investment. Keep a record of the agreement and account details before transferring funds.

Check your understanding

Official destinations: sejam.ir and csdiran.ir. Can a message promising guaranteed profit prove a broker’s authorisation? No; verify independently.
