Oljefondet Review: Worth Trying or Not?

Oljefondet is an AI trading platform made for everyday investors. After using it for months, we give it A-. What we liked most is the app — it's simple to use. We explain the good and the not-so-good below.

Best for: People who want to trade from their phone and are happy to start with $0.

Not for: Professional traders who trade all day, or anyone who needs 24/7 phone help.

Our overall take

Oljefondet is among the rare trading apps that focused on getting the important things right — reliability and fair fees — instead of flashy advertising. After using it with real money, we rate it A-.

What keeps it from a top score is a couple of fees that are higher than the best rivals. The good news is these are easy for the company to fix — the app itself is solid.

Placing trades and speed

Buying and selling feels fast. In our testing, orders went through smoothly and you usually got a fair price, sometimes even a little better than other apps.

For everyday stock trades, it works great. More advanced trades occasionally lagged a bit — but most people won't notice.

What it costs

Stock trades cost you nothing — no commission. That's the good part.

Where you might pay more are things like sending money out by bank transfer, that are pricier than some rivals. None of it is hidden, so nothing sneaks up on you.

The app and tools

The phone app is the best part of Oljefondet. It's fast, tidy, and easy to find your way around, even on day one.

The app also comes with helpful information — clear charts, company details, and news — and it tells you where it comes from. There's a desktop version too, though the app is the star.

Is your money safe?

Safety is a strong point. Your cash is stored separately, which protects you if anything goes wrong.

The platform is watched by independent regulators and passes independent security checks. If you also hold crypto, a licensed partner looks after it — standard practice, but worth a mention.

Bottom line

Overall, we're happy to give Oljefondet a score of A- for everyday investors. It nails what matters: easy, trustworthy, and clear.

To get top marks, Oljefondet would only need to lower a few charges. We'll keep checking back every so often.
