I contacted Scottrade to open a cash account. On the website, they asked for my SSN# to pull my credit report to, "Make sure I wasn't a terrorist".in reality, they ran my credit to check my score! I never would have agreed to this had I known they would approve or deny opening a cash account based on credit. Apparently my $30,000 was not good enough for Scottrade.
TD AMERITRADE had no problem opening an account me. Scottrade should make it clear that if you want to open an account with them and you do not have stellar credit, your money is no good.
