How is E*Trade rated?

Breakdown

Overall Rating: 0 / 5 (N/A)

E*TRADE is a pioneer both in online stock trading and in the discount brokerage sector. Its familiarity with trading technology and the needs of its customers has made it a leader in online stock brokerages. Competing companies, though, not only have research tools and trading platforms that are just as sophisticated, but often have a wider array of financial products available under the same roof. Consumers who live near one of E*TRADE's 30 branches have access to additional resources and services, but their mobile app offers all of the typical features for trading, performing transfers, and making deposits. We recommend E*TRADE for both beginner and serious investors.
