Direct Transfers of Investment Club Contributions
Our brokerage firm will not facilitate transfers from one account to another unless their TITLES are identical. In other words, they will not transfer from a checking account owned by Jane Doe into a brokerage account owned by Doe Family Investment Partnership. Do you know of investment clubs that have gotten around this dilemma?
 
I have heard of clubs who have found brokers willing to accept electronic transfers from the bank/brokerage account of club members directly to the club's brokerage account.   Unfortunately, I don't have a list of brokers that are willing to do this.   Maybe other bivio users will share their recommendations and experiences with us via the bivio Club Cafe users board at club_cafe@bivio.com   
 
One additional trick that we often use to identify member payments for our premium customers is to give each club member a number.  That member will then add that many cents to their monthly payment.   That way, if John Doe is member number #12 and we see that a member payment was made to the brokerage account in the amount of $50.12, we know that payment was made by John Doe.   If Bob Smith is member #6 and we see a payment in the amount of $25.06, we know that Bob Smith made that payment and we will credit his account accordingly.
 
Thanks for using bivio!
