UK eToro clients will be able to trade in GBP
eToro has expanded opportunities for traders in the UK and Europe by allowing them to trade in pounds sterling or euros, alongside US dollars. eToro has introduced trading funded in pounds sterling and euros for comfortable user access.
As part of a decision to expand its presence among European traders, eToro, a global multi-functional investment platform, has announced the addition of GBP and EUR trading accounts. The new feature allows users to trade directly in British pounds and euros without needing to convert their deposits into U.S. dollars, reducing currency exchange fees and improving overall accessibility for UK and European investors, eToro reports.
eToro's latest development comes as part of the company’s broader strategy to cater more effectively to its growing user base across the UK and Europe. By enabling accounts funded in these local currencies, eToro aims to offer a more seamless and cost-efficient trading experience to its customers in these regions. According to the company, the decision was driven by growing demand from European clients who sought a more streamlined trading experience without the complications of currency exchange.
The introduction of GBP and EUR-funded trades marks a significant shift in eToro’s operations, especially as the UK and European markets represent a substantial portion of its user base. The addition of these local currency accounts is expected to benefit not only retail traders but also long-term investors looking to avoid the fees and potential losses associated with constant currency conversions.
This update also comes at a time when the platform is continuously growing its European footprint. In recent years, eToro has gained recognition for its user-friendly interface and its diverse portfolio of assets, which range from stocks and ETFs to cryptocurrencies and commodities. The company’s focus on providing social trading features, which allow users to copy the trades of experienced investors, has been a key factor in attracting new users, particularly those new to trading and investment.
Doron Rosenblum, Executive Vice President, Business Solutions at eToro emphasized the importance of this update, stating that the company aims to remove unnecessary barriers for its users. "This isn’t just about adding another feature, it’s about fundamentally enhancing the way our users tailor their investment strategy by improving their domestic and international trading experience," he explained.
With this new capability, investors in the UK and across Europe can expect a smoother trading experience with fewer hidden costs and better flexibility when managing their portfolios. However, industry analysts will be watching closely to see how this development impacts eToro’s market share in an increasingly competitive trading platform space.
