SMS share trading service

Australian online share trading and wealth creation platform, Bell Direct, has launched an SMS share trading service.

Customers wanting to buy or sell via the new SMS service simply have to text message their order to Bell Direct in a simple buy/sell-stock code-quantity-price format. Shortly after, they’ll receive confirmation of the order, which, if correct, is then sent back with a hash-encoded time-stamp unique to that order.

Although brand new to Australia, SMS share trading is already extremely popular in South East Asian markets such as China, Malaysia and South Korea.
