    Doesn't look good. You should be able to transfer your shares though?

    I was going to deposit some cash recently, but thankfully I couldn't access my account as it had been unfunded.

    That means shares should be ok? Just take times to sort it out?

    I'm giving Hatch a go. They seem ultimately owned by Kiwibank / NZ Govt so am sure we will be OK.

    Anyone else have more insights?

    they sure look interesting. I'm signed up but haven't committed funds yet.
    Sadly I have virtually no exposure to the US markets and the next few months seems like a good time to alter that, except of course the exchange rate is poor.
    I was just reading some Craigs output and they are big fans of the US economy Iit was the only geographical sector they were actually positive on.
    But I will be pretty cautious , competing with Wall Street wont be easy.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
