LA VISTA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Financial advisors with Securities America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT: LTS) recently surpassed $1 billion of deposits into client brokerage accounts using mobile devices such as a cell phone or tablet.

Sean Buckley, CFO of Buckley Financial Planning in Worthington, Ohio, was an early adopter of this technology.
