When you open a Selfwealth account, an ANZ cash account is automatically set up alongside your ASX trading account. This cash account is your home base for moving money in and out of Selfwealth — all deposits and withdrawals are made in AUD through this account.
At this stage, Selfwealth only supports depositing and withdrawing funds in AUD. Once your funds are in your AUD cash account, you can convert them to USD, HKD, or any other supported currency to trade on international markets. When you're ready to withdraw, simply convert your funds back to AUD and transfer them out.
Because all deposits and withdrawals flow through your AUD cash account, an ASX trading account is a prerequisite for accessing any other Selfwealth market — including US and Hong Kong trading.
