Security and Privacy

We take Security and Data Protection of our clients seriously. Our website adheres to the most up-to-date security and encryption protocol.

That said, online security is always a two-way street, which is why it is important for you to also use strong passwords and only trade using a secured computer via a secured network. Do not give out any passwords and avoid using a public computer for your trading transactions. Together, we can create a safe and secure environment for your trading.

Please follow the guidelines set below for your own data protection.

 

  • Login – we do not support any autocomplete feature for your logins. This adds another layer of security in case any details about your account are disclosed. Never share your passwords with anyone. MATRKES will also not ask for passwords via email.
  • Login Attempts – we will lock any account that will have more than three (3) login attempts. If you forgot your password, email or contact us immediately.
  • Password – we require a strong password that would have at least 8-12 characters, an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter. We encourage the use of special characters (`~!@#$%^&\*()-_+=[\]{}:;|\\,.<>/?) for an added layer of security.

Note that your password will expire every 60 days. Once you password has expired, the platform will automatically ask you to change your current password. You need to create a new set of password because the platform will not accept a password that has been used already. A total of 6 password history before you can repeat your old password.

Secure Session – we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption so your account and transaction details are safe. To confirm that you are in a secure session, the URL should be in https:// and in some browsers, a small padlock indicates a secure, encrypted session.

Trading and Handling Fees

The following trading fees are charged only when the order posted has been matched. The fees will be based on the matched amount from the posted order.

EXAMPLE: for a BUY transaction of 1,000 shares at Php 35, total buying Fees and Charges would be Php 103.25.


For a SELL transaction of 1,000 shares at Php 40,  total buying Fees and Charges would be Php 358. This is because of the Sales Tax at 0.60% of the matched value.

No. There is no monthly fee or handling charge for your MATRKES account.
However, these are some fees if you do the following:

a. Lodgment fee (Depositing a Stock Certificate) – A Lodging fee of Php330.00 per stock will be charged with an additional Php50 per certificate of the same stock after the first certificate.

b. Electronic Share Transfer Out (Broker to Broker) – Electronic transfer can take one or two days and would incur a cost of Php 200.00 from the issuing as well as the receiving broker.

c. Upliftment fee (Request a Certificate) – Certificate requests would incur an uplifting charge of Php370 per stock. A new certificate might take more than a month to be furnished.

Investing and Order Processing

All non-suspended Peso-denominated stocks may be traded using the MATRKES platform.

ICEBERG (Optional) – Iceberg Orders are posted when you want to keep the order hidden from the market. Posting Iceberg orders is encouraged when the order to be posted is significantly large. You will be required to enter a disclosed order size, which must be at least 10% of the total order size. Take note that in an Iceberg order, the disclosed order size will be executed first; the rest of the order size will be re-queued upon match of the disclosed order.

Normal Board Lot
Each stock may trade at different minimum tranches depending on its market price, called Board Lot Size. If a stock’s board lot is 1,000 then that is the minimum amount of shares that can be traded and should also be traded in scales of 1,000. For example, an order to buy a stock with a board lot of 100 will reject an order to buy 50, or 30; but will accept 100, 200 and above as long as it is divisible by 100.

You may trade in the Normal Board Lot in the NORM board. All Shares in the Normal Board Lot have security tag “XPSE” directly. For example, for an Ayala Corp (AC) stock at the Normal Board Lot, you may select “AC.XPSE” in the trading platform.

Odd Lot
Any amount of shares not divisible by a minimum board lot is called an Odd lot. Odd lots are traded at the Odd Lot board which are usually illiquid and often priced at a discount to the current market price of the stock.

Odd Lot shares are tagged with ”OD” in the trading platform. For example, an Ayala Corp (AC) stock at the Odd Lot board will have a label of “AC.OD.XPSE”.

*The table below identifies the Board Lot size based on stock price and the corresponding tick sizes.

You may check your completed transactions in the trading platform. Go to Orders and check the Execution History. However, the platform’s execution history only covers transactions made in the last 2 weeks.

You may also refer to your monthly statement of account for all confirmed orders. Otherwise, you may email us your request for an account ledger for a specific period at support@maybank-atrke.com

Yes. There’s no need to wait for three days (T+3) to buy a stock using your proceeds, even if it is the same stock.

The order can get rejected due to any of the following reasons:
a.    You may have insufficient funds available at the time you were trying to post your buy order.
b.    You may have been posting shares not available in your portfolio.
c.    You may have posted an order but is still queued or is a GTC or GTD order

A posted order, even if it is not completely filled or placed in a GTC /GTD order will temporarily lock out your available cash as it earmarked it for that transaction. You need to cancel the order for the cash to return to your account balance.

This is also similar to a sell order. Once the shares are posted and is unfilled, you need to cancel the sell order first before the shares will be unlocked by the system.

The stock market has a designated time period where cancelling orders are not allowed.. This is between the Pre-Open period from 09:15 to 09:30 AM or during the Pre-Close period from 03:18 to 03:20 PM. Make sure that you are not cancelling your orders at this time.

Yes you can. You can call us anytime during trading hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on trading days. We call this service Broker – Assisted and we do not charge a higher commission rate for this service.

GTC orders get cancelled by the Exchange when there’s a corporate action that is about to take place such as a Stock Rights Offering or Stock Dividends during the day or it may be due to Change in Lot Size.
