    Can you trade straight away after opening account?

    • I just signed up to hopefully start trading straight away. It's asking my to provide a wet signature and send it to a supplied address. It also won't let me purchase any stocks.. So it's probably waiting for me to provide a wet signature with identity to verify myself. Now I just feel like closing the account down and not bothering since I already have a commsec account. The Nabtrade website/app is very clunky and horrible to use from what I've seen so far. I don't trade very often, so I'm not sure I could be bothered verifying my signature now

  • Coming up as code invalid when entering in the promotion code box of the application?

  • Code invalid for me too. Is there a link to the promotion?

  • -2

    These NAB promos suck. Very short in duration.

    Never been able to add the codes.

  • +4

    Guys, the code 20FREE90 works.

    • Great, thank you!

    • Can you confirm if you're getting the free trades after opening the account?

      20FREE90 is an old code (even though its accepted during application), and I've emailed NAB about it a week ago and they said there are no current promotions.

      • I made a trade this morning and brokerage showed as $0 (rather than $14.95) on my buy summary so seems like it worked fine.

  • +3

    Australia is tough for getting a decent brokerage. I use NAB because it's convenient, but to anyone who has used a real online broker before, the NAB website is the worst imaginable. Omg it is so bad, total DOGSHIT. So if you're looking for a nice easy to use interface, NAB is not a good choice. You can't even do market orders in a standalone trade client, just limit orders on their trash website. Anyway, convenient, but 1990s interface that is terrible.

    • is selfwealth another brokerage ?

      • +2

        yes, $9.50 per trade

        I use selfwealth

        • +2

          I use self wealth and commsec. Commsec is so better to use.
          Also the benefit of commsec over selfwealth and NABTrade is you can settle all your buy orders T+2. This to me is a big plus as I don't have to leave idle cash in the account in case I want to buy a stock or wait 2 days for funds to clear to buy a stock when the price may have already moved against me.

          • @gtr80y: absolutely agree, I have both CommSec and SelfWealth.

            My trades are primarily through SelfWealth due to cost but I usually have both open when making trades.

        • +1

          I might add CMC markets. If you trade in rough 10k increments, cmc equals roughly the same as self wealth per trade, and when you become a frequent trader the live info dashboard you can construct becomes great.

        • After seeing the Fee's of selfwealth, Commsec / NAB etc for a new entrant into the stock market their Fee's are unacceptable IMHO.

          For a $1000 trade I'd rather use something Like Etoro with a 0.11% spread fee then a $9.95(0.95%) with self wealth or $29.95(2.95%) with Commsec, their exchange rates to USD to purchase their stocks are also more competitive which is quite frustrating that an App has a better rate then a multi-billion dollar bank.

          • @atomicpnut: Is Etoro CHESS sponsored though?

            I'm always happy to try a new broker if they the same standard

            • @thetrain: I dont believe they are CHESS sponsored as 99% of users are using their CFD leverage features, with that said however they have inlcuded a no fee base stock price unleveraged options to all of their trades to reduce your risk / expenses and you can also do partial shares, they also pass on any dividends you would be entitled to as "adjustments".

              If you do want to give it a go though I can PM you my referral link so we both get a lil bonus :)

              • @atomicpnut: thanks for the offer

                I'm a bit more conservative though (no CFDs for me) and that includes only using CHESS sponsored brokers

  • Why would anyone pay for wise owl’s financial advice after the banking royal commission?

    • What was the matter? Thanks

    • That article has literally nothing to do with wise owl.

      • Oh ok I thought it was a nab financial advice app but I now see it’s a seperate company.

  • I'm very new to trading and still learning. I currently use commsec and pay between $9.95 and $19.95 for brokerage. Is it worth signing up with nabtrade just to get the free trades for now? Or is it then too difficult to track your portfolio if you have them spread between commsec and nabtrade? I'm a little confused with it all and would love some advice. Thanks

    • You can transfer the shares over in 90 days if you find two brokers difficult

      • Does it usually cost? Do you have to wait a minimum of 90 days to do it or do you have to do it within the 90 days because of the promo? Sorry for the noob question.

        • at any time you can and it doesn't cost anything

  • +1

    I currently have Selfwealth. Suppose I signup to NabTrade, can we transfer our shares to Selfwealth later without any fees etc.?

    • I expect yes. Selfwealth wouldn't charge.

    • I'm also wondering the same from nabtrade to commsec. I can't seem to find anything that lists there are fees. Can anyone confirm?

      • transfered from nab to selfwealth before, can confirm it doesn't cost any fee

  • Using Interactive Brokers here. Slow and sluggish website with some complex terms I do not fully understand, but it's very cheap.

    • +1

      It's not CHESS sponsored though, so I've never been tempted to use it.

      Peace of mind for an extra few dollars that if a broker goes belly up, my shares and definitively mine, and I can transfer them easily to another broker.

  • Code doesn't work anymore =(

  • So I just checked.. When I signed up, it said I would get the free trades.. Now I've tried making a purchase in the app it wants to charge me $14.95. Anyone else?

    • Same here. Not sure if it's easy to get a refund if that happens.

    • +1

      Ok here's my update. I called NABtrade to verify that I have the 20 free trades within 90 days using the coupon code. They said they didn't have any offer running at the moment, but is happy to check with the manager. After that I received an email saying that they are happy to honour the 20FREE90 offer for me.

      I went on to NABtrade to buy some shares, and it STILL shows that I have $14.95 brokerage fee. I took the chance to buy the shares anyway (knowing I have the email as my evidence), and then see that in my portfolio that I wasn't charged with any fee.

      I don't suggest you to ignore the fee, because they could still say there's no special offer running at the moment and not honouring it. I'd recommend you to get a written confirmation from NAB before trading.

      • Just did the same and can confirm it is applied to my account. I have also got them to email me saying when the 20 free trades expire. Thanks for the tip

  • I don't think it's working anymore…
