Morgan Stanley / E*TRADE

If you opened your account with E*TRADE, you're now technically a Morgan Stanley customer — Morgan Stanley acquired E*TRADE in 2020, and legacy E*TRADE accounts now sit under a Morgan Stanley-affiliated entity's terms. Depending on exactly which legal entity governs your specific account, you may be bound to terms you never directly reviewed or agreed to.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (MS). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, New York, New York — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
