SELF-DIRECTED BROKERAGE

Wachovia Securities Direct (WSD) gives you two ways to place trades and monitor the market and your account—with our Online Brokerage service, and through a Wachovia Securities Direct broker. Use your PC or phone to place trades, access your account information, obtain quotes, and stay on top of market changes—we provide the resources you need to make smart, self-directed investment decisions where, when, and how you choose.
