## Broker by broker

All eleven ship in the RSA+ build and all eleven need the RSA+ plan — there is no subset of them available on Copy Trading.

### 🌐 Public: highest account ceiling

* 🏦 Accounts: **21 total**: up to **3 logins**, 7 accounts each (**5 cash + 2 IRA** per login)
* 🪪 One SSN covers all 3 logins, you just need a **different email, phone, and name-on-file** per login; same person is fine
* 💰 Minimum Deposit: $20
* 💸 Fees: $0.49 if sold within 10 days
* ⚡ Instant Withdrawals: Yes ($1 fee)

Sign up on [public.com](https://public.com) or in the app, complete verification, and link your bank. To reach the full 21, create three separate logins (each with its own email/phone), and open the 5 cash + 2 IRA accounts under each.

### 🟢 Fidelity

* 🏦 Accounts: **Up to 10** (cash accounts)

* 📌 Note: Requires penny stock trading enabled on each account

Visit [fidelity.com](https://www.fidelity.com), open a **cash account** (required for RSA). Complete verification and fund the account. After opening each account, enable penny stock trading and complete all first-time setup pop-ups.

When you connect in TradeLabs, paste your **Authenticator setup key** so the bot enters your 2FA codes for you; if you have no authenticator set up, Fidelity texts a code that you type into the **2FA code** field or the sign-in dialog.

If you're a Wells Fargo customer, open a WellsTrade account online through the Wells Fargo portal or app (approval is usually near-instant or within ~24 hours). If you're **not** a Wells Fargo customer, you'll need to call to sign up, which takes about 30 minutes.

### 🏦 Chase

* 🏦 Accounts: **Up to 6** (cash accounts)

Open a **J.P. Morgan Self-Directed Investing** account through [chase.com](https://www.chase.com). A standard checking or savings account alone won't work; you need an investment account linked to your login. Have the phone number on file with Chase ready for SMS verification when you connect.

[Full Chase guide →](/docs/reference/brokers/chase/)

### 🤖 Robinhood

* 🏦 Accounts: **3**: Cash, 2 IRA (**+ a Joint account** if you have one or can open one)

* 💸 Trading Fees: None
* 🎁 Referral Bonus: Yes (free stock worth $5 to $200)

Sign up on [robinhood.com](https://robinhood.com) or in the app, verify your identity, and link your bank. For RSA you connect **Robinhood** (stocks), a different login from your Robinhood crypto account.

You can paste an **Authenticator setup key** so the bot enters your codes for you. Otherwise, during sign-in Robinhood either texts a code you type in, or sends a push where you open the Robinhood app and approve the sign-in.

## Not RSA-compatible

> **Important**
>
> **Interactive Brokers and Tradier are not RSA-compatible.** They are options and stock brokers in TradeLabs, not part of the RSA fan-out. Always confirm a broker's RSA compatibility before you commit real money.
