Common Questions

1.  How do I open an account?

Opening an account with Vicus 24/7 is designed to be an intuitive, user-friendly process with clear directions to help you each step of the way.  There are three phases of the account opening process, each described below.

 Step #1:  Registration

Go to www.vicus247.com and click on “Let’s Get Started” on the homepage.  This will navigate you to a registration page.  Enter the required information to register, including your email address.  A confirmation email is sent to you to verify your registration.  Simply follow the instructions provided in the email to complete the registration process.

 Step #2:  The Questionnaire

*Please note:  Prior to proceeding through the remaining steps, please consider how you intend to fund your Vicus 24/7 account.  At this time, Vicus 24/7 is not able to transfer assets “in kind” that are currently invested in securities.  If you intend to fund your account with assets from an existing investment account, you must liquidate assets invested in securities into a money market sweep or other sweep.  Please contact your financial advisor or the custodian of your existing account for assistance with liquidation.  If you are funding your Vicus 24/7 account from a bank account or if you have already liquidated your existing account, please proceed with the account opening process.

Upon completing your registration, you are now ready to begin the process of determining the portfolio that best suits your goals and objectives.  Simply click on the “Build Portfolio” button.  We will ask a series of questions designed to determine your risk score.  You will notice that as you respond to the questions, your portfolio is built and adjusted in real time.  After answering all the questions, you are presented with your final risk score and corresponding portfolio recommendation.  If you wish to change any of your answers, you can go back to provide alternative answers before proceeding with the account setup process.

 Step #3:  Opening an Account

Once you are comfortable with your risk score and corresponding portfolio recommendation, click on “Open Account.”  At this point, we will gather the information necessary to create an account and you will tell us how you would like to fund your account, either through a bank account or transferring an existing investment account you have already liquidated into a money market sweep or other sweep.


2.  I forgot my password.

On the login screen, simply click on “Forgot Password” and you will be prompted to enter the email address associated with your account.  An email will be sent to you.  Follow the instructions provided in the email to reset your password.

If you are unable to answer your security questions, please contact Vicus Capital at support@vicuscapital.com or 855-558-4287.


4.  How do I reset my password or security questions?
