Stake is an immersive and intuitive investment platform that provides seamless access to over 12,000 ASX and Wall St securities. A powerful investing experience for mobile and desktop with a slick, easy-to-use interface – whether you’re a starter or a pro. Founded in 2017 on the notion that investment opportunities shouldn’t be determined by where you’re living. Our founders noticed a growing desire for those living outside the U.S. to access Wall St markets without the headache-inducing paperwork, poor execution and excessive fees. After successfully launching in Australia, we expanded to New Zealand and the UK. Today, Stake has 500,000+ global customers as well as 9,500+ U.S. securities available, 2,500+ ASX stocks for Australian investors and a continuing mission to break barriers for investors looking to grow their wealth.

Really love the way everything is executed.
Easy to use and fast too. I like the way only small amount of money is needed. Which I have been using to test the site. But so far so good. Highly recommend..

It's frustrating that you cant have a stop loss and a limit sell for shares at the same time. I can not manage my risk and take profits effectively because of this limitation.
This either requires micro management or fortune telling to make sure your positions don't blow out.

Stake Is really cool
Stake has made it so much easier and cheaper to trade just with the most accessible and pervasive device, the mobile, for everyone that I don’t even need to consider other mainstream brokers.

STAKE offers a fantastic service
STAKE offers a fantastic service. You can buy and sell US shares at Zero cost. Amazing. The only cost is the one off changeover cost of changing your AUD to US dollars.
It’s a stylish site and has masses of shares. I can’t say enough.
Go take a look and I believe you will be delighted.

Funds performance
Would seek improvements as follows:
1. Add 5 and 10 year performance where applicable, in addition to 1 and 3 years.
2. Display breakdown with exchange rates and all fees when users add funds to their portfolio

Easy access to US market on your finger tips
I always wanted a quick secure and easy application to invest in US stock market. Stake ticks on all these fronts. Very intuitive app with supporting material on stock analysis and news helping you in taking a decision.

Clever, transparent business model. Genius.
Stake is an extremely clever trading solution for Australians who have some basic domain knowledge and are otherwise disillusioned with the high brokerage fees on the ASX. Stake offers $0 brokerage by offering access to the US markets where brokerage is already insanely cheap and then only takes a cut of the currency exchange when funding your account. Genius!
