We spent about 90 days trying out Saldunep with our own money, and this is the honest summary. It's easy to get started, it looks after your money, and most people won't feel lost. What to keep in mind is one or two charges that are higher than the best rivals.
Best for: First-time investors who want a friendly place to start and want to keep costs low.
Not for: Anyone focused on forex, as a general app can't beat a specialist tool for that.
Saldunep is among the rare trading apps that focused on getting the important things right — reliability and fair fees — rather than flashy ads. After using it with real money, we land on B+.
The one thing we'd change is a couple of fees that run a bit high. Happily, those are simple fixes — nothing is wrong under the hood.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. In our testing, orders went through smoothly and the price you saw was the price you got, sometimes even a little better than other apps.
If you stick to regular stocks, it is smooth. Complex strategies occasionally lagged a bit — but most people won't notice.
Stock trades cost you nothing — nothing per trade. That covers what most people do.
Where you might pay more 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 nothing sneaks up on you.
The mobile app is the standout. It's quick and simple to use, even for total beginners.
The app also comes with helpful information — charts, company info, and news — with the sources shown. The computer version works too, though the app is the star.
Keeping your money safe is where Saldunep does well. Your funds are kept apart from the company's own money, so it's protected even if the company runs into trouble.
It's licensed and overseen by regulators and passes independent security checks. For crypto, it's kept with a trusted, licensed partner — normal for the industry, but good to know.
Overall, we're happy to give Saldunep a score of B+ for regular users. It nails what matters: simple, safe, and fair.
For a perfect score, Saldunep mainly needs cheaper extras. We'll revisit this and let you know if anything changes.
You only need $0. You don't need a lot to begin. Opening an account is free.
The usual account types are offered, including retirement options. Setup is simple, with a short wait for certain types.
For regular stocks, yes. For complex trades, it's not the fastest. Full-time forex traders may find cheaper options elsewhere.
It's solid. Live chat is open around the clock and answers come fast. Tricky questions go to a specialist instead of being bounced around. The one downside is no weekend phone line.
Yes, you can. You can transfer your investments over, and Saldunep often refunds the exit fee your old app charges up to a limit. Expect a few days for it to finish.
Yes, it is. Your funds are held apart from the company's own money, for your safety. The platform is also regulated and checked by outside auditors.
