Use Start New Forms for Digital Account Opening

Important

The client must be assigned to a Household to use Start New Forms.

Filling out custodian forms is time consuming, and it's easy to make mistakes that are difficult to fix. In order to improve accuracy of custodian form completion and streamline your processes, you can start new account forms directly from Tamarac.

For requirements, steps, and more information about opening new accounts through Tamarac, see Start New Custodian Forms with Digital Account Opening.

Access TD Ameritrade Veo® Data

Whenever you access this data for the first time after you've signed into Tamarac Reporting, you will be prompted for your TD Ameritrade Veo® credentials as part of our secure integration. In addition, the integration will only be available for accounts that have been assigned the TD Ameritrade custodian.

To assign TD Ameritrade as the custodian to an account, see Custodian (Accounts).

See Custodian Values on the Accounts Page

If your firm is activated for TD Ameritrade integration, you can see TD Ameritrade data directly on the Accounts page in the Custodian... columns.

For more information, see See Custodian Values on the Accounts Page.

Run the Custodian Alerts Report

The Custodian Alerts report lists all current TD Ameritrade Institutional alerts for an account or group of accounts selected in the Find Data For list. All unread alerts will display in a bold font. This report is also available on the Dashboard.

  1. On the Reports menu, under Custodian Reports, click Custodian Alerts.

    The Alert and Type columns on the report are links that allow you to view the details of the alert. Simply click the link to view the alert details. Reading an alert will not change the “read” status of the alert with the custodian. The status of an alert can only be modified by viewing the alert at TD Ameritrade.

  2. To refresh the data on the report, click Refresh Alerts.

Troubleshoot Errors

If you do not see information for your accounts, or if you receive an error that says, "This Account is not Currently Associated With a TD Ameritrade Custody Account..." it's likely because TD Ameritrade isn't assigned as the custodian for the accounts. To assign TD Ameritrade as the custodian, see Access TD Ameritrade Veo® Data.
