Standard Online Share Trading

Having a standard bank online share trading account is a waste. It’s unnecessarily expensive (R110 a month), they charge you over R100 for every trade, and you can’t easily see a long list of your previous transactions without needing to click multiple times to get the dates right. I’m more a fan of easy equities for my investing needs. I guess this is worth it if you’re an active trader because then the fee is less (I think). They also have a decent educational and analysis resources.

It’s difficult to negotiate this app, most especially in terms of calling up the daily ticker screen from which to see movements of individual instruments. Really annoying and disappointing compared with other investment apps.

I love the phone app. The watch app would be great if you didn't first need to log on to phone app, kind of defeats the object!
