Existing DragonFi users can open a PERA account directly in the DragonFi app through the Multiple Accounts section. Your PERA account sits alongside your current DragonFi accounts but functions as a separate account type, since PERA has its own compliance and tax requirements under Philippine law.

Can I Transfer My Existing Stock Holdings to My PERA Account?
You can only transfer PERA-eligible stocks. This feature is not yet supported, but we will notify you once it becomes available.
