Celebrating 5 Years of BROKSTOCK: A Journey of Growth, Innovation, and You
Five years. Over 500 000 users. One mission.
This month, BROKSTOCK turns five. What started as an ambitious idea has grown into one of South Africa's most trusted investment platforms, and we couldn't have done it without you. Make sure to read the article till the end — we have prepared a special birthday gift for you.
Five Years in Numbers
When we launched in 2021, we set out to make investing accessible, affordable, and intuitive for everyone, from first-time investors to seasoned traders. Five years later, here's what we've achieved together:
● Over 500 000 users — and growing every day
● Access to over 2 000 share CFDs across global markets
● Licensed and regulated by the FSCA (FSP No. 51404)
● Real-time market data and analytics — empowering you to make informed decisions
We've also surpassed 1 million downloads on Google Play. Our commitment to keeping you informed has led to 110 weekly analyses, 15 monthly analyses, and 51 Investment Insights.
Behind the scenes, our clients have placed over 10 million trades over the five years, and the deposits count went over 4 million — proof of the trust and activity you bring to the platform every day.
Awards and Recognition
We are proud to share that BROKSTOCK has been recognised on multiple prestigious platforms for various awards:
● South Africa's 'Most Innovative Investment Platform' for 2025 by Global Brands Magazine, South Africa 2026
● Finalist for 'Best African Solution' and 3 more categories at the FNB App of the Year Awards 2025
● 'Best Multi-Asset Trading Platform' 2026 by Global Business & Finance Magazine,
● Entered the top-3 in the Young Investor and 3 more categories at the Top Securities Brokers Survey, South Africa 2024
This recognition came for features we built with you in mind:
● Streamlined onboarding — register in about three minutes and start trading the same day
● Unified, rand-based global market access — trade JSE shares, US stocks, commodities CFDs, and more, from a single ZAR-denominated account
● Integrated market news and analytics — real-time data to inform your decisions
● Educational content — guides and articles to build your financial knowledge
These honours reflect our commitment to building a leading, innovative platform for accessible investing. But the real measure of our success? The hundreds of thousands of investors who trust us every day.
