How to Find Your Morgan Stanley at Work Account Number: A Comprehensive Guide
Your Morgan Stanley at Work account number is a unique identifier for your specific workplace benefits account. This isn't the same as a general Morgan Stanley brokerage account number, as "Morgan Stanley at Work" encompasses various employer-sponsored plans like stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs), and deferred compensation.
Step 1: Identify Your Primary Access Portal
Morgan Stanley at Work utilizes a few different platforms depending on the specific type of workplace benefit you have. Before you can find your account number, you need to determine where your account is primarily managed.
Sub-heading 1.1: Understanding Your Morgan Stanley at Work Platforms
