Online trading platform and mobile app

Why invest with a trading platform?

Investing with a trading platform has a number of advantages. A trading platform gives you access to the financial markets and helps you diversify your savings by letting you trade a wide variety of products (stocks, ETFs, funds, structured products, etc.) on an array of markets (such as the SIX Swiss Exchange, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Euronext Paris, the NYSE, and the Nasdaq).

When you use a specialized app or website, you also get access to tools built specifically for online trading – all at a low price.
