Yes, that easy. But you have to get the money in the account first. :-)

as a newbie, if I were you, I'd just browse the different, big-name trading sites to find the best rates(for trading if you plan to). There are probably even websites that compare them for you. Also, see if your current bank that contains the funds is affiliated with any trading platforms... you might be able to transfer money easier if they are connected.
