How do I buy U.S. stocks?

The easiest way to buy US stocks is on an app like the Xapo Bank app or by opening an online brokerage account. Once you set up your account, fund it and explore the shares available for you to choose from.

In our case, Xapo Bank members have access to a selection of blue chip stocks of US-listed companies right on the Xapo Bank app. They do not need to buy full shares, as it’s possible to buy fractions.

If you prefer, you can also buy US stocks through an offline stockbroker or directly from the company itself.

Is it possible to trade U.S. stocks for non-residents?

With a Xapo Bank account, it’s possible to trade US stocks for non-residents (adobe stocks, Tesla stocks and more…) or buy fractions of a company’s share at the tap of a few screens on the Xapo Bank app.

There are other apps that you can also use for this. Depending on the broker, however, you may need to open an international brokerage account that gives you access to the stocks you are interested in. You may also need to show proof of identity and address, as well as other types of documentation that may be specified.

Can I invest in the US stock market online?

Thanks to technology, many investors have the option to invest in US stocks without needing to visit a broker or trading floor. This is possible through online stock trading platforms. There are different trading platforms available, so it pays to explore the options and compare features, fees and other services to ensure your investment is safe.

With Xapo Bank, not only do you have access to a US Dollar and a Bitcoin account in one place, but you can also invest in stocks of blue chip US-listed companies right on the Xapo Bank app. It’s accessible, reliable and safe to use.

Is Xapo Bank an investment bank?

Xapo Bank is an international crypto-enabled bank that gives members access to US Dollars and Bitcoin in one place: the Xapo Bank app. Members also have the ability to invest in blue chip U.S. listed companies with the flexibility to buy fractional shares if desired.
