Thousands of 5-star reviews
I moved to Stake over a year ago now for the low brokerage fees and still absolutely love the platform. It's the best place to invest in ASX and U.S. shares.
When I started, I analysed over 20 apps and found Stake was the best app to get started investing. 3 years later, Stake is still the best!
Stake has been such an easy platform to use! I love that I can easily switch from my US Account to my Australian account within a click of a button! The Customer Support has been amazing too, as I always have many questions that get answered very quickly! Highly recommend!
Great experience so far! I have recently moved over to Stake from Selfwealth to save on the brokerage fees! The transfer of my whole HIN number was fast and easy! I’m yet to make my first trade but it looks like it will be easy!
Friendship with NabTrade is over, Stake is my new best friend. Took me 10 minutes to fill everything out on the app and get things sorted and I was able to painlessly transfer my portfolio from NabTrade to Stake successfully. That purely won me over, as NabTrade is so god-damn confusing to navigate at the best of times.
