The EasyEquities platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyEquities acts as an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership. In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor.
The availability of any share on the EasyEquities platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you. The availability of any share on the browse shares page does not necessarily indicate any contractual relationship between EasyEquities and the listed company, or the payment of fees for services. Brand Logos are owned by the respective companies and not by EasyEquities. The use of a company’s brand logo does not represent an endorsement of EasyEquities by the company, nor an endorsement of the company by EasyEquities, nor does it necessarily imply any contractual relationship.

Ratings and Reviews
Overall Good, but needs improvements.
Investing has been great on this platform. If you could optimize the app more for mobile use it would be a massively improvement.
There are a few functions that you could fix that will make the app a lot easier and faster to use, like a feature that allows you to go one step back without having to restart the whole process over when browsing, and if you could add a function that serves the same purpose as a wishlist/ watchlist to compare options it would be amazing. Maybe consider consulting with a UX/UI developer that specialises with sort of thing.
If these things are fixed I’ll be happy to change my review to a 5 star rating.
Keep the poor poor
This is less a critique of the app and more the actual platform. If you enjoy staying poor this app is perfect for you, first of all, DO NOT USE EASYFX, the spreads on these are ridiculous, if you want to move ZAR to USD and then back you lose about 6% of your funds! If you understand compound interest this is an exorbitant amount, also why are all the prices updated every 15 minutes? Are you that money hungry that you have to charge us to see the value of our investments accurately. Don’t get me started on the thrive fee! This platform gives the feeling that every time you think of opening the app they want to take money from you, I have only used EE for about two months and will immediately be switching to interactive brokers, it is truly criminal how much they try to charge you to use this platform and is predatory since 90% of these fees are hidden up until you actually need to use the service and money is already in your account. Other platforms that are not even classified as cheap are 10x cheaper than EE. All in all your developers need to get fired because this app is horrendous and overcomplicated and whoever is thinking up all these fees need to resign. Terrible platform, worse app.
Bug fixes
The app has made investing convenient, but please put more effort into the fluidity of the app. Basic gestures like swiping left on the screen to go back a page. It’s simple but it makes a huge difference when using the app…
I can’t even access the EasyProperties portfolio from the app. I need to go onto the website to manage that account.
The app needs a serious overhaul please! Using the website from my phone is easier and faster than using the native app and that shouldn’t be the case
Developer Response ,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a detailed review lukayyy. To answer and address your concerns:
There is a locked up period on EFTs for 14 days as these can be reversed by the bank if the client requests so, this is to prevent any form of negative account balances and can be addressed on a case by case basis (submitting a ticket through the help portal).
The lock up period post selling is a settlement period of shares sold on the market. this isn't something we are able to control and is an industry norm.
With regards to investing in the US market, we have given our investors the ability to transfer at a competitive rate and more importantly, and easy process through the EasyFX functionality but there is no requirement for you to use this, you are able to go through your bank to do these transfers too. We would encourage you to check what the bank process is and well as their fee's and do the comparison yourself.
With regards to bid and ask investment, this is the underlying market bid/ask spreads and there is no shading added to these. We're happy to discuss this further on appreview@easyequities.co.za should you wish to.
