    G'day Drublic,

    Thank you for your question.

    I cannot find any information on minimum age. However, you do have to fund your account from a bank account or other source. This would limit access by minors. Consumer laws in various jurisdictions would also tend to limit the ability of minors to purchase stocks but this would depend on the jurisdiction.

    Regards

    you need to be an adult since minors are not allowed to enter into a legal contract. Opening an account is considered a legal contract
