Westpac launches trading app
Westpac has launched a new product - an online investing application designed to enable share traders the ability to trade and research from their smart phone or iPad.
The product - the Westpac Online Investing App - was launched this week and supports trading in shares, warrants, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded commodities (ETCs).
Features include editable watchlists that sync with the desktop site as well as live portfolio values, quotes, news, market announcements, interactive charts and regular video market updates. The App supports iPhone, Android phone and iPad.
Commenting on the new product, Westpac Online head James Staltari said customer feedback combined with a rapid rise in activity on the bank's existing mobile site had highlighted the growth and importance of mobile to share traders.
"With the introduction of our App, customers not only receive a fully optimised experience for their smart phone, we are adding iPad support as well," he said.
