Introducing the Stake App

More than $50 million has been traded on Stake since we launched. 39,000 trades have been placed and over 12,000 traders take hold of the US stock market from Australia every single day.

Today, we’re unveiling the next phase of Stake’s journey and introducing the Stake app along with a new identity that reflects our ambition to democratise global share markets. We’ll be sharing the story behind our new identity and the process we went through in the coming days.

First, let us introduce the Stake app and welcome a new way of trading from the palm of your hand.

Trade up to the Stake app

Trade in a single click, fund faster and never leave your portfolio at home. Buy fractional and whole shares. Use market and advanced order types. Always get the real exchange rate when transferring currency. Deposit money with debit or credit card and online banking.

We’ve made it even easier to get your money working harder for you in the US stock market – simple, secure and affordable.

The app experience builds on the best parts of Stake desktop:

• Real-time access – direct access to trade the US market live with one-click trading and real-time pricing.
• Pay less, trade more – once your money is in the USD wallet, it’s free to trade on Stake. Perfect for those who don’t like to watch the world but want to act in it.
• Fast and free sign up – no long-term contracts or paperwork. Provide ID and your trading account can be ready instantly.
• Transparent transfers – you’ll always get the real exchange rate, a clear explanation of fees and know exactly how much you’ll receive in USD when depositing funds.
• Digital W8-BEN – paperwork sucks. We do the W8-BEN for you automatically so you can focus on trading instead of taxes (how it should be).
• Trusted by thousands – look us up on Twitter, Reddit, Whirlpool, Facebook or Google and see our reviews.
• FINRA regulated – we’re fully regulated as well as our partners so your money’s safe and secure.
• Designed for you – we’ve removed the complexity and confusion of traditional trading platforms so getting into the market is as easy as shopping online.
• For the first timers and seasoned pros – whether you’ve been in the market for decades or just getting started, everyone benefits from lower trading costs and a simpler experience.

But don’t just hear it from us, see for yourself and get your money working for you.
