ACCOUNT STATUS*
*DAILY INTERNET ACCOUNT ACCESS
Schwieterman customers may access their account status via our link with R.J. O'Brien. Customers must use Microsoft Explorer (version 4 or later), and have the cookie option turned on.
Account and social security numbers are required to access account information. The account number consists of the office number where the customer places their orders, # 636 - Garden City, Hutchison, and Meade, #640 - Wichita, and #660 - Ashland, followed by the last five digits of the account number as it appears on the account statement.
The password setup in the system is your social security number. After logging on the first time, you are given the opportunity to change your password.
After you have logged on, you have access to your account. Available reports are daily/monthly statements (the same as you get in the mail) or your equity page in either text or Adobe (PDF) format. The equity page is the same thing your Broker uses each day! It shows your current positions, offset positions from the previous day and your account value at market among other things.
You must have Adobe Reader installed on your computer to view the PDF files. If you do not have Adobe Reader on your computer, you can download a free copy from Adobe's Web Site.
Only you have access to your account. You can leave your password the same or change it if you feel more comfortable with a different number. Should you have difficulty accessing your account information, just call us and we’ll help you out with any problems you might have accessing your information.
