Step 1: Are you ready to dive in? Determine Your Account Type and Access Method
Before we go any further, it's important to understand that Morgan Stanley offers various types of accounts, and the exact steps to find your account number might slightly differ depending on the specific kind of account you have. For instance, a wealth management account might have a different online interface than a corporate stock plan account.

- Wealth Management Accounts (Individual or Joint Brokerage Accounts): These are typically managed through the main Morgan Stanley Online platform. If you have an investment account, brokerage account, or a CashPlus account with a Financial Advisor, this is likely your pathway.

- Morgan Stanley at Work (Stock Plan Accounts): If you have stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), or other equity compensation through your employer, you'll usually access these via the Morgan Stanley at Work platform (which may include Shareworks or StockPlanConnect).
