Shares sets up users with a Brokerage account through our brokers: Alpaca Securities LLC (for trading US stocks in our app), and Upvest Securities GmbH (for trading EU stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrencies)*.
All accounts currently offered are cash, non-leveraged General Investment Accounts (GIA), also known in France as a CTO (Compte Titre Ordinaire) account.
When you create an account in our app you can choose between a:
Personal account - opened and operated solely in your name. Available in all countries supported at Shares.
Business account - opened and operated in your name, on behalf of your company. Available only for our FR users. Learn more about this unique option in our article: What are Business accounts and who can create them?.
Both with a Personal and a Business account, you have access to a user-friendly app, which is ideal for creating and managing your portfolio. 💪
*The availability of trading different assets depends on the country you’re registering from and can be checked in our article: Countries currently supported.
