Quanteki is a "let the software help you trade" platform made for people who are new to this. After testing it ourselves, we rate it B+. What we liked most is the app — everything is where you'd expect it. Read on for the details.
Best for: Regular people who like doing everything on mobile and are comfortable starting with $0.
Not for: Full-time traders who trade all day, or people who want round-the-clock phone support.
Quanteki is among the rare trading apps that put its money into being reliable — reliability and fair fees — instead of hype. Based on our months of testing, we land on B+.
The one thing we'd change is a couple of fees that run a bit high. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — the app itself is solid.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. In our testing, orders went through smoothly and prices were fair, which isn't always true elsewhere.
If you stick to regular stocks, it is smooth. Complex strategies weren't always as quick — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
Buying and selling stocks is free — nothing per trade. That's a big plus.
Where you might pay more are certain extras, that are pricier than some rivals. It's all shown before you pay, so nothing sneaks up on you.
The phone app is the best part of Quanteki. It's quick and simple to use, even on day one.
You get useful research built in — prices, news, and simple charts — and it tells you where it comes from. There's a desktop version too, though most people will prefer the app.
This is where the platform earns trust. Your cash is stored separately, which protects you if anything goes wrong.
It's licensed and overseen by regulators and gets checked by outside auditors. If you buy crypto too, it's kept with a trusted, licensed partner — which is worth knowing.
Overall, we're happy to give Quanteki a score of B+ for beginners and casual traders. It nails what matters: simple, safe, and fair.
For a perfect score, Quanteki would only need to lower a few charges. We'll revisit this and update this review if things change.
Yes, it is. Your cash is stored separately, for your safety. It's licensed and independently reviewed too.
Definitely. Quanteki works on iPhone and Android. It's designed for mobile first — everything works smoothly on a small screen.
Through a few optional charges, such as transfers or premium features, and interest on spare cash. Everyday trading stays free.
A regular account is available, plus tax-friendly retirement accounts. Setup is simple, with a short wait for certain types.
For simple day-to-day trades, it's fine. If you use advanced options strategies, it's not the fastest. Heavy currency traders might prefer a specialist app.
The minimum to begin is $0. You don't need a lot to begin. Signing up is free.
Absolutely. Moving your account in is supported, and Quanteki will usually cover the fee your old provider charges within reason. The move takes a few days.
