UserID
Your UserID is the unique number that identifies your Bidvest Bank Investment account from others. The number is a 5-6 digit number and always starts with an BV. (i.e. BV514335)
To enable us to help you as quickly and efficiently as possible, you should always have your unique UserID at hand whenever you call our Client services team.
Account Number
Each unique Bidvest Bank Investment client account may in future have a number of different Investment accounts within it, each identified by their name and a unique Account Number.
There are currently two (2) different ZAR accounts on the platform as follows:
- Bidvest Bank - BV123456 - 78910
Bidvest Bank Investment Standard Account. Your main Investment account through which you can invest on the JSE.
- Demo - BV123456 - 78933
On creation of your account, this Demo account is funded with R100,000 of demo (imaginary / monopoly) money for you to 'play' with. The account operates exactly as a live Standard Account would operate, but gives you the opportunity to buy and sell shares and use the platform to get a full understanding of how it works before investing your own money.
