We’re launching Sarwa Trade!

Amazing news, we are super excited: Sarwa trade is here!

So why are we so excited? Because now everyone can trade thousands of US stocks and ETFs easily. And the best part? Zero transfer fees for local accounts. It’s simple, affordable, and accessible to anyone looking to trade in a safe and regulated environment.

A not so long time ago, we brought together our team of engineers, designers, and overall Sarwa thinkers. Their mission: to change the not-so-great (can we just say bad?) experience of buying and selling stocks in the region.

We know how frustrating trading platforms and brokerage accounts can be, with some complicated interfaces, high fees, and sometimes high account minimums. We did not want that.

And so, the result was building the region’s easiest to use no-transfer-fee stock trading app. Sarwa Trade was born.

Let’s get you trading. Get the app if you have not done that yet.

Wait, first: what Sarwa Trade features and functions will be available to me?
  • Zero cost UAE local transfers in AED
  • Fractional shares: buy in bulk or in fraction
  • No account minimums
  • Access to 5,000+ US listed stocks and ETFs
  • View real time stock prices
  • Access to most popular & top movers stocks
  • Access to stock metrics & information
  • View company profiles
  • Instant execution of trades
  • Complete online onboarding
  • SSL encryption
So, is Sarwa all about active trading now? Are you done with passive investment?

Not at all. Our advice hasn’t changed: putting your money in a long-term diversified, low-cost portfolio that tracks the market is smart. But a smart, holistic financial plan can also leave room to take a risk on themes you believe in.

So, we created a simple, efficient, and safe platform because it’s something our clients have asked for.

There are many reasons why people would buy individual stocks, some are good, and some not so much. They might think the space the stock operates in is cool and has a great impact on humanity. That’s good. Some just heard it from a friend, and it’s trending. Not so good.

We wanted to offer a platform that can allow them to trade in a safe and regulated environment while keeping an eye on the big picture: building sustainable long-term wealth.

You mean you’re not robots?

We’re not robots (yay!).

Since we launched, our mission has been to help people build their wealth by putting their money to work in the best way.

We want to give them all the right tools to do that, at the lowest cost possible, and with the most accessible account minimum so anyone can start investing. Most of our clients don’t have time to manage their own portfolios, some want to do it themselves. We listened.

Sarwa Invest was the first tool to help them get there. Now, we have Sarwa Trade and many more to come.

Sounds awesome! How do I sign up for Sarwa Trade?

You can get access to Sarwa Trade here. Sign up and join the Sarwa Traders today! If you’re an already existing Sarwa user, you can access trade through your main Sarwa account.

How is this different from Sarwa Invest?

Sarwa Trade enables you to buy and sell assets yourself. It’s self-directed, and we don’t offer any “advice” for Sarwa Trade clients.

Sarwa Invest provides you with low-cost, and globally diversified portfolios, tailored to your risk appetite.

These portfolios consist solely of Exchange Traded Funds, and the entire process is fully automated.

How are you different from big banks and other brokerage firms?

Sarwa Trade was developed by keeping our community in mind. We’ve thought of the most pressing problems across the different trading platforms available in the region, and re-designed a brand new platform the Sarwa way. 

Some of these differences include a few minutes sign-up,  a mobile-first app, zero transfer fees for local accounts, no minimum, and the best customer support!

Unlike big banks, we save on operating costs such as bank branches, legacy systems, and bureaucracy. We are also regulated here, so you know you are in a safe environment.

So, I’m new to investing. Should I invest or trade?

The best approach to building long-term wealth is by investing in a global and optimally diversified low-cost portfolio. However, if you already have an emergency fund in place, a sound financial plan, and your risk profile permits it, you can also take a small percentage of your money and trade in themes you are passionate about.

Make sure you always do your due diligence and research and have a plan that reflects your risk profile and appetite. Of course, this should not be considered as one-on-one financial advice as personal goals are different from person to person.

Our CEO and Co-founder Mark Chahwan said: ‘From what we have seen, the trading industry does not offer a great experience. Many of the traditional ones have high fees and a complicated onboarding process. Some international firms that target the market are not regulated. This is scary when you think about the small retail investors.” He continues by saying: “our community has been venturing into trading, and we feel we should support by providing them with the right platform while guiding them on how to approach active trades, and how to minimise risk on their long term wealth.’
