Overall Satisfaction with Merrill Edge

I use Merrill for personal use. Love everything about it. I've been a Bank of America customer since 1999 and I love how easily Merrill transitions between itself and the banking institution. I carry all of my assets, retirement, and stocks within Merrill because I trust their security, ease of use, and customer service. When leaving a company, it's very easy to transfer an old 401k to Merrill and they have excellent customer service to help you through it. Trading is free (if you have certain minimums) and your holdings can be easily viewed and those views can be easily adjusted if you want different data points.
  • Integration with Bank of America.
  • Customer Service is fantastic.
  • Free to use with a minimum asset holding.
  • You can customize the views for your holdings.
  • Sometimes the interface can be a little slow.
  • It would be great if they had educational courses on options trading.
  • Maybe they can introduce Crypto?
  • Ease of use.
  • Customer Service is Excellent.
  • Secure and backed up by Bank of America.
  • Positive impacts across the board since I typically buy and hold.
  • I was able to easily transfer my old 401k to an IRA using their customer service teams- super fast, easy and most importantly I didn't have to worry about messing up the transfer and having tax consequences.
