BEA launches stock trading platform BEA SmarTrade

It has watchlist and stock portfolio features, and gives real-time market quotes.

The Bank of East Asia (BEA) has launched BEA SmarTrade, a digital platform for trading Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, and mainland Chinese A shares.

Through the platform, customers can select up to 8 different order types to cater to their  personal investment and trading strategies across the three major markets — Hong Kong, the US and Chinese Mainland.  

It also has a personalised "watchlist" feature that allows customers to track their favourite stocks, receive important trading alerts, and related news. Customers are given real-time market quotes.

The platform also provides a “stock portfolio” function, through which  customers can view their investment returns and forecasts at a glance.

BEA SmarTrade was first piloted earlier in 2024, and has led to a 14% increase in the proportion of the bank’s customers trading securities in a digital platform, said Wendy Tsang, general manager and head of wealth management division at BEA.

Until 31 December 2024, customers can enjoy HK$0 brokerage commission for trading through the BEA SmarTrade Online Trading Platform or BEA SmarTrade mobile app for the first three months with a maximum brokerage commission rebate up to HK$4,000. I

Customers who successfully complete at least three US stock  transactions will be automatically entered in the "US Stocks SmarTrade Mega Lucky  Draw" for a chance to win a laptop or a cash coupon.
