Top step at the MTN App Awards for EasyEquities - CN&CO - 0 views

  • EasyEquities took home first place in the Best Consumer Solution category and walked away with the overall grand prize, as the #MTNAppAwards winners, of an international trip to a tech-related destination valued at R200,000.

EasyEquities working on life insurance for its young clientele - 0 views

  • EasyEquities, one of SA's biggest online share-buying platforms, has set its sights on disrupting the traditional life insurance sector, with plans in the next 18 months to launch a new product aimed at its young customer base.Charles Savage, CEO of JSE-listed Purple Group, which owns 70% of EasyEquities, said the group realised there was a gap in the market after its annual customer survey found most of its subscribers were underinsured.
  •  
    I believe that this is a smart move from EasyEquities. The majority of brokers and investment platforms don't really care about the performance of their customers as long as those customers are making transactions. Offering an insurance product to its young customer base will increase its customer loyalty along with a new revenue stream.

Matchi.biz - EasyEquities talks fintech challenge events - 0 views

  • Our goal is to democratise all things investment. We’re approaching our break-even point as a business and we’ve achieved some significant milestones. The first is that we’ve built a valuable brand that is highly trusted and is engaging a new audience in investing – one that is demographically representative of the South African opportunity. Everyone is included, from a 12-year-ols running their own stock portfolios to a 94-year-old previously disadvantaged South African who felt they would never participate in owning shares in this country. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey.
  •  
    I really like the fact that EasyEquities is facilitating and allowing the access to financial markets to different age groups going as low as 12 years old. I once tried online trading, and I can understand the difficulties that people face to find reliable platforms in which you can trade foreign financial instruments.
