brokerages: export file and lock-in test (2026-08-24)

Compare Investing tests whether “investing apps for teens” in brokerages lets a technical founder leave with a usable archive on 2026-08-24. Offers: Binance, XP, BTG. Focus: brokerages. Annual is blocked until export works without a retained login.

Fails that kill broker-compare-2026-export-2026-08-24

• Paying Binance annual with no export button
• Accepting a screenshot as the XP archive
• Skipping brokerages because BTG emailed a CSV later
• Closing before the file opens on a second device

Go / no-go 2026-08-24

Annual only if export is self-serve and the archive opens without a retained brokerages login for “investing apps for teens”. Otherwise broker-compare-2026 stays monthly until brokerages is in the file.

Download a real archive, not a screenshot

On Binance, start export for projects, invoices, and member lists. Save the ZIP/CSV/JSON filename with broker-compare-2026-export-2026-08-24. A PDF print of the dashboard is not an exit file on 2026-08-24.

On XP, start export for projects, invoices, and member lists. Save the ZIP/CSV/JSON filename with broker-compare-2026-export-2026-08-24. A PDF print of the dashboard is not an exit file on 2026-08-24.

On BTG, start export for projects, invoices, and member lists. Save the ZIP/CSV/JSON filename with broker-compare-2026-export-2026-08-24. A PDF print of the dashboard is not an exit file on 2026-08-24.

Who can press export without the billing owner

Run tax / statement on Binance: export a report and open it offline. If only the original cardholder can download, brokerages fails when that person leaves. Clock 24h in Fort Wayne.

Run withdrawal on XP: time a small test withdrawal. If only the original cardholder can download, brokerages fails when that person leaves. Clock 24h in Fort Wayne.

Run custody and commissions on BTG: price a typical trade for your profile. If only the original cardholder can download, brokerages fails when that person leaves. Clock 24h in Fort Wayne.

How Binance, XP, and BTG fail lock-in

Binance fails without a downloadable archive. XP fails if brokerages needs the old login. BTG is the control: if its export opened offline, do not excuse the others.
