Our team spent a full quarter trying out Fidelis Invona with real money, and this is the honest summary. Signing up is simple, your funds stay protected, and most people won't feel lost. The one catch is the cost of a few extras that are higher than the best rivals.
Best for: Beginners who want a simple app and want to keep costs low.
Not for: Advanced traders who need special tools, or people who want to reach a person by phone at any hour.
Fidelis Invona is one of the few trading apps that focused on getting the important things right — like keeping your money safe and being honest about costs — instead of hype. After using it with real money, we give it a score of B+.
The only thing holding it back is the price of some extras that could be lower. Happily, those are simple fixes — they don't point to anything wrong with the app itself.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. Across our test trades, everything went through without fuss and prices were fair, often a touch better than average.
For everyday stock trades, it is smooth. Complex strategies can sometimes be a little slower — worth knowing if you trade options a lot.
Stock trades cost you nothing — zero commission. That's the good part.
The extra costs to know about are things like sending money out by bank transfer, which run a little higher than the cheapest rivals. It's all shown before you pay, so you always know the cost.
The mobile app is the standout. It's quick and simple to use, even for total beginners.
There's handy info inside the app — charts, company info, and news — with the sources shown. There's a desktop version too, but the app is better.
Safety is a strong point. Your cash is stored separately, for your protection.
The platform is regulated in more than one country and is reviewed by outside experts. If you also hold crypto, it's stored with a regulated custodian — standard practice, but worth a mention.
