TD Bank has launched an innovative new mobile trading app that is designed to make it easier than ever for people looking to try their hand at the increasingly popular do-it-yourself trading and investing world to go about getting the information, education and access that they need to go about making successful trades and growing their wealth.
The TD Easy Trade app doesn't require a minimum balance, enabling it to offer access to a broader segment of the population and allowing people to get started with smaller amounts of money. It delivers a range of features that include commission-free trading on all TD bank ETFs, 50 free stock trades a year, stock watchlists, customizable investment plans and much more.
Ultimately, the vision of this trading app is to help less experienced and newer investors gain confidence and access to market opportunities.
