We put in about 90 days using InvestingiB with our own money, and here's what we found. Signing up is simple, it looks after your money, and everyday users can find their way around. What to keep in mind is the cost of a few extras that could be lower.
Best for: First-time investors who want a friendly place to start and don't want to pay extra fees.
Not for: Professional traders who trade all day, or people who want to reach a person by phone at any hour.
InvestingiB is among the rare trading apps that put its money into being reliable — reliability and fair fees — instead of hype. After using it with real money, we rate it B+.
What keeps it from a top score is a couple of fees that could be lower. Happily, those are simple fixes — they don't point to anything wrong with the app itself.
Buying and selling feels fast. Across our test trades, everything went through without fuss and prices were fair, sometimes even a little better than other apps.
For simple buys and sells, it works great. More advanced trades can sometimes be a little slower — but most people won't notice.
There's no charge to trade stocks — nothing per trade. That's a big plus.
Where you might pay more are things like sending money out by bank transfer, that are pricier than some rivals. Everything is listed clearly up front, so you always know the cost.
The mobile app is the standout. It's quick and simple to use, even if you've never invested before.
There's handy info inside the app — charts, company info, and news — and it tells you where it comes from. The website is fine as well, but the app is better.
Safety is a strong point. Your money is held in a separate account, so it's protected even if the company runs into trouble.
The platform is regulated in more than one country and gets checked by outside auditors. If you also hold crypto, it's kept with a trusted, licensed partner — normal for the industry, but good to know.
Overall, we're happy to give InvestingiB a score of B+ for everyday investors. It nails what matters: easy, trustworthy, and clear.
For a perfect score, InvestingiB just needs to trim a couple of fees. We update our reviews regularly and update this review if things change.
Yes. Your funds are held apart from the company's own money, which protects you if anything goes wrong. It's licensed and independently reviewed too.
Yes. Help is available any time by chat and replies are quick. Harder issues get passed to an expert instead of being bounced around. The one downside is no weekend phone line.
You can open a standard account, plus tax-friendly retirement accounts. Opening one is free and quick, with a short wait for certain types.
For regular stocks, yes. If you trade fancy options, you may notice small delays. Full-time forex traders might prefer a specialist app.
Definitely. InvestingiB has a full phone app. The app is the best way to use it — it's quick and easy on mobile.
