In May, a new Scotia iTRADE mobile trading app will give customers who manage their own investments the ability to make equity and option trades on the go from their mobile and smart phones.
The mobile trading app will be compatible with Blackberry, Android and iPhone devices. The app will also provide users with access to their personal account balances and holdings, allow them to view open orders and execute equity and option trades, while giving them real time quotes, charts, news and option chains, presented in a clear and user-friendly design.
“Our customers want access to the markets and the ability to trade while using a mobile device at an airport, on mass transit, sitting in a cab or on vacation,” says Bob Grant, Bank of Nova Scotia managing director and head of online brokerage. “They want the technology to be as easy to use on their mobile device as it is on their desk or laptop. We’ve taken their feedback with us into development, and are now putting the finishing touches onto the app.”
