“eToro has always been about opening up finance. We offer our users not only the choice of what assets they invest in – from commission-free fractional stocks through to commodities and crypto – but also a choice of how to invest – they can trade directly themselves, copy another user or invest in a portfolio.” 

The card will initially be available to eToro Club members in the UK, then Europe, and then will be extended to non-eToro users. eToro has over 14 million registered users and expects to take up the card to be strong. 

eToro Money has a Principal Membership with VISA and an EMI License permission from the Financial Conduct Authority.

“Over the past thirteen years, we have grown and innovated by listening to what our clients want from eToro. The debit card will provide instant cash-out and cash-in functionality, greatly improving the user experience. We expect to see a strong take-up of the card – initially from our client base.” commented Yoni Assia.

Mahmood Kamran, former Chief Operating Officer of Marq Millions and now Managing Director of eToro Money commented: “We are incredibly excited to become part of the eToro Group. The backing of this leading global fintech will allow us to issue a debit card which we are confident will become a market leader globally. You can expect to hear a lot more from eToro Money in the coming months and years.”
