Say hello to UK & European stocks and ETFs

What day is it today, Thursday? That’s a pretty good day for big, exciting news, we think. Get ready, because we’re about to release UK stocks, European stocks & ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) ⚡️

Say hello to UK & European stocks and ETFs
From Tesco to Vodafone, and Vanguard to iShares, a huge selection of your local and global favourites will be going live from October 17th onwards.
Earlier this year, we received a full European investment licence, allowing us to launch a range of new products and services — including local stocks and ETFs. And bringing all these exciting new instruments to our favourite Brits is something we’ve been working on for quite some time.
Now, all this talk of our favourite Brits might leave you feeling a bit left out if you’re from outside the UK. Well, have no fear because we also have a treat for you
…UK stocks are going to be launching too 🇬🇧
