Using Paasa
How to Transfer Assets from Fi Money to Paasa
Nitish Sahni
If you currently invest with Fi Money and want to consolidate your portfolio on Paasa, the process is simple and seamless.
Fi is layered on top of the Alpaca brokerage. Once you have opened a Paasa account, you’ll just need two things from your Fi app:
Your Alpaca account number
Your latest account statement
After you share these with us, we’ll initiate an ACATS (Automated Customer Account Transfer Service) transfer on your behalf. This will move your holdings from Fi to Paasa without triggering any sale—so your positions remain intact and tax events aren’t created.
Note: Transfers usually complete in a 4-8 business days
If you have any questions or run into difficulties, we’re here to help. You can reach us at +91 98993 54394 or directly through the app.
We look forward to welcoming you fully onto Paasa!
