TD Direct Investing (TSE: TD) has launched a new mobile trading app, TD Easy Trade.
Investing Simplified
With its simple, user-friendly design and built-in tutorials, TD Easy Trade makes it easy for new investors. According to a TD survey conducted for TD Easy Trade, three-quarters (74%) of Canadians surveyed believe they need experience before they can start trading and investing, and 30% have never invested because they think they don’t have enough money to do it.
TD Easy Trade has no minimum balance requirement or monthly fee and offers a pricing structure of 50 commission-free stock trades per year. It also includes unlimited commission-free trading on all TD ETFs, as well as U.S. dollar accounts to avoid currency conversion fees.
TD Securities also includes educational videos and investment resources for users, plus access to a team of certified investment specialists ready to help and answer questions as needed.

“As a result, trades and new account openings hit record highs. This growth in new accounts and trading volumes was driven largely by new and younger investors, which is why it was important to us to launch an app that is easy-to-use, with low trading fees and available support to ensure investing is accessible to this emerging, fast growing investing segment.”
