Royal Bank of Canada’s online brokerage has introduced international trading options for its investors, allowing transactions in multiple foreign currencies.
RBC Direct Investing clients can now trade online on exchanges in London, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, and Euronext Paris. They can also hold and trade in eight global currencies, including the British pound, Hong Kong dollar, and Euro. This expansion complements the existing ability to trade online in American markets and hold and trade in US dollars. Additionally, clients can place trades by phone in various international markets.
Dimitri Busevs, CEO of RBC Direct Investing, stated, “All our self-directed investors already have the strength of three powerful trading platforms, plus extensive research and commentary at their fingertips – now we are bringing them online access to trade around the world.”
