About E*Trade UK
In 1998, ESI and E*TRADE Group founded E*TRADE UK. Defining the new territory where British investors can 'stalk' their next investment and 'pounce', timing their trade to the second. The launch of E*TRADE UK's online trading service is just a first step in a process which will fully exploit interactive channels to maximise benefits for the private individual over the years to come. Building on this vision, the aquisition of E*TRADE UK by E*TRADE Group in January 2000 promises to be a critical step towards the goal of developing the first global cross border network for online investors.
E*Trade UK offers several levels of service. Some of these require a monthly subscription while others, such as trading accounts, do not have a fee.
