CHICAGO, Oct 13, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- OXPS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OXPS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today announced that its Canadian subsidiary, optionsXpress Canada, will immediately begin offering US Dollar RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) and TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account) to Canadian customers. These new investment vehicles will give Canadian customers unparalleled access to US equities and options providing more choices to help plan and invest for their retirement.

optionsXpress customers in Canada can now take advantage of long options and covered calls in addition to stocks, bonds and ETFs within the scope of a USD RRSP or USD TFSA. They also have continued access to more aggressive options and futures strategies in their regular trading account -- all with the same login.

optionsXpress will not charge an annual fee for either RRSPs or TFSAs. In addition, funds in these accounts will be US-denominated, allowing traders to avoid any per-transaction foreign exchange fees. These savings should reduce overall trading costs and help to maximize returns.

"As the only completely online broker-dealer in Canada, optionsXpress Canada is committed to providing customers with the most diverse and cost-effective choices for maximizing their returns and reaching their investing goals," says Tom Stern, President and CEO of optionsXpress Canada. "In the case of RRSPs, that means electronically empowering our customers to prepare for a comfortable retirement."
