I opened up a SelfWealth account over a month ago, with no prior experience with share trading and found it very easy to use and navigate. When you open an account with SelfWealth, a cash account with ANZ is also opened for you so you can transfer your money to buy and sell shares. Transfers of money usually takes 1 business day.

When you sell a share, the money is immediately available in your account to use which was a surprise. Normally when you sell a share it takes a couple of days before the money is transferred into your account. This is the case with NABTrade. I opened a NABtrade a couple of weeks earlier to SelfWealth.
