Choose the currency you trade in
When you register for Online Share Trading, we’ll set you up with an ASB Cash Management Account which is specifically designed for settling your trades in New Zealand dollars.
If you want to trade in the local currency of an international market, we can also set up an ASB Foreign Currency Account for share trading. You can move money between your ASB Foreign Currency Account and ASB Cash Management Account at any point, when the exchange rate suits you.
Diversify with a range of investment choices
We’re not just about investing in shares. We also provide access to exchange traded funds and New Zealand fixed interest securities such as bonds and term investments. If you’re interested in new issues and initial public offerings (IPOs) we can provide access to these as well.
Open up opportunities with margin lending
We offer margin lending, which you could use to increase the scope of your portfolio. Margin lending lets you borrow to invest, using your existing securities as collateral. There are risks, so make sure you understand these first.
