Discovery Bank today announced the launch of share trading through its app in partnership with EasyEquities. Clients can now open a new EasyEquities account, or link an existing one, seamlessly through the Discovery Bank app, making investing in their favourite local and global brands and other asset classes simple and accessible.
“The platform is transparent, easy-to-use and makes equity trading cost-effective and intuitive for all kinds of investors, from first-timers all the way through to seasoned traders. In collaboration with EasyEquities we’ve been able to make the journey to investing in equities simple and frictionless. This is all part of our focus on promoting a positive long-term savings and investment culture across our client base,” Hylton Kallner, CEO of Discovery Bank said.
Discovery Bank clients can now buy, hold and sell shares on local and international stock exchanges and access a wide range of ETFs, ETNs, as well as cryptocurrency.
The integration between Discovery Bank and EasyEquities is seamless with clients being able to transfer funds between their Discovery Bank accounts and their EasyEquities ZAR account in real time, at no cost and with no lock-up periods.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with an innovative business such as Discovery Bank. To see our brand alongside Discovery Bank and to work with their incredible team is a real honour and a privilege. We look forward to delivering an exceptional “Easy” experience to their clients” Charles Savage, CEO of Purple Group said.
Discovery Bank’s shared value banking model is designed to help clients manage their money well, and EasyEquities shares the Bank’s deep conviction that saving, and investing is key to helping South Africans build wealth, empower themselves and their communities, and ultimately strengthen our economy.
Discovery Bank’s shared-value banking model is enabled through Vitality Money, an AI-Powered programme on the Discovery Bank app which gives clients an understanding of behaviours that influence their financial wellbeing and how to manage their money. The better clients do, the higher their Vitality Money status and the greater the value they receive. The EasyEquities investment portfolios integrate directly into Discovery Bank’s Vitality Money programme, automatically counting towards the client’s Vitality Money status.
“The introduction of share trading with EasyEquities is consistent with our focus on helping our clients manage their money well over the long-term – and they get rewarded immediately through the Vitality Money program for doing so,” said Kallner.
