To invest in ETFs and shares listed on the US market 🇱🇷, you would place an order as per normal and our FX partner (Currency Cloud) automatically will take care of the currency exchange for you. The conversion to USD takes place instantly as per the instant funding agreement we have with our US broker (Alpaca).

If there is an error with your US order or it is cancelled, you might see a slight delay (up to an hour) for those funds to be returned to your USD cash account. This is because we have set up an instant funding agreement with our US broker to allow you to use AUD to place orders.

Please note that US order brokerage fees will always be deducted in AUD from your Primary AU Cash account.

US shares can be included in your Automate target portfolio.
