Money word, in plain English ← Back to all terms
Demat account
A digital locker that holds your shares and funds safely.
Example. Buy 1 share and it sits in your demat, like money in a bank app.
A demat account holds your investments in digital form, so you never deal with paper certificates. You open one through a broker or an investing app, and it is where your shares and funds live.
