I have been an ETrade customer for several years and i can say that they offer absolutely exceptional service. I considered a few other brokers when I opened my account, but I chose E-Trade because a close friend recommended it. I would also recommend it to anyone. The account was easy to open and I transfered shares from an existing account without any issues. Also ETrade has exceptional services like high-yield savings accounts, roll-over retirement accounts, checking accounts, credit & debit cards, roll-over retirement accounts, and low mortgages. I would like my relationship with ETrade a long one.
