We spent about 90 days testing Hmarkets with our own money, and here's what we found. Signing up is simple, your funds stay protected, and most people will feel at home. The main thing to watch is a couple of fees that could be lower.
Best for: Regular people who like doing everything on mobile and are happy to start with $0.
Not for: Advanced traders who trade all day, or anyone who needs 24/7 phone help.
Hmarkets is one of the few trading apps that put its money into being reliable — like keeping your money safe and being honest about costs — instead of hype. Based on our months of testing, we rate it A.
The one thing we'd change is a few charges that could be lower. Happily, those are simple fixes — nothing is wrong under the hood.
Buying and selling feels fast. When we tried it, everything went through without fuss and you usually got a fair price, often a touch better than average.
If you stick to regular stocks, it works great. More advanced trades can sometimes be a little slower — but most people won't notice.
Stock trades cost you nothing — nothing per trade. That's the good part.
Where it costs a bit more are a few add-on services, that are pricier than some rivals. Everything is listed clearly up front, so there are no nasty surprises.
The phone app is the best part of Hmarkets. Everything is easy to find, even if you've never invested before.
There's handy info inside the app — prices, news, and simple charts — and it tells you where it comes from. The website is fine as well, though the app is the star.
This is where the platform earns trust. Your funds are kept apart from the company's own money, for your protection.
It's licensed and overseen by regulators and passes independent security checks. If you also hold crypto, it's stored with a regulated custodian — which is worth knowing.
In the end, Hmarkets earns a rating of A for beginners and casual traders. It gets the basics right: easy to use, safe, and honest about costs.
To get top marks, Hmarkets mainly needs cheaper extras. We update our reviews regularly every so often.
