New shares on offer
In August 2019, Revolut added the opportunity to trade shares. Initially, the service was dedicated only to people using paid packages, but less than 2 months later everyone could invest. Initially, there were 450 companies on the American market at their disposal. Now another 350 companies have joined this group, which extends the number of assets available for trading up to 800.
Application update
At this stage, it's still hard to say that Revolut offers a trading application and in terms of possibilities it can't even be compared with those offered by Forex brokers. But who knows, maybe it's just a matter of time?
The ability to watch selected instruments has been added to the "trading" section. With a list of 800 companies that can only be displayed in alphabetical order, this is a necessary feature. Also added price alerts with push notifications, so that we don't have to regularly check the listings we are interested in (they will also inform us about the payment of dividend for our shares).
Customers using Premium and Metal plans have gained access to functions Latest news. Current news is provided by reputable agencies such as Bloomberg, Business Insider and BBC. The functionality is available in the "Invest" section in the details of the company.
