Does Public offer margin in IRAs?

Updated this week

Public does not currently offer a margin or limited-margin feature in Traditional or Roth IRAs.

IRAs are opened as cash accounts on the platform.

What is a cash account?

A cash account is a type of brokerage account where you must fully pay for all securities purchased. You can not borrow funds from your broker-dealer (i.e. Public investing) to pay for the transactions in your account and must be aware of cash account violations.
