BANK INTRODUCES INTERNET STOCK TRADING
By Adnews Staff
Last week Vancouver-based HongKong Bank of Canada began offering stock trading services over the Internet. Using the new service, known as netTRADER, investors can access major stock markets around the world and place, buy or sell orders, receive real-time quotes, obtain detailed account information and download research. The service is available 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week to clients of HongKong Bank Discount Trading Inc. By using netTRADER, clients can save 10% off their normal commission fees. The company says the service is protected by an advanced electronic security barrier. netTRADER is being promoted through print advertising in British Columbia. The ads began running last week and were created by Bryant, Fulton & Shee of Vancouver. The HongKong Bank of Canada is part of the HSBC Group which has over 3,300 offices in 75 countries.
