In Qatar, HSBC has launched WorldTrader, a digital wealth trading platform that grants customers convenient access to a wide array of international investment opportunities. This platform is accessible through HSBC Online Banking and allows eligible HSBC Premier customers to trade across up to 25 markets and 77 exchanges, accounting for approximately 80% of global stock market capitalization.
WorldTrader enables customers to invest in equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and bonds across key international markets, including the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Abdul Hakeem Mostafawi, HSBC Bank Middle East's Chief Executive Officer, emphasized that Qatar hosts a growing, internationally connected investor community. The launch of WorldTrader is seen as a further investment in their wealth offering, reinforcing their commitment to providing HSBC's global capabilities closer to their customers.
Mostafawi added that the platform, combined with HSBC's dedicated wealth expertise and global connectivity, offers customers greater choice and flexibility to diversify and manage their wealth across international markets. Customers can transfer funds from their HSBC Qatar account to their Worldtrader funding account within hours, providing faster access to global investment opportunities.
The platform also supports trading in major international currencies, such as US dollars, euros, pounds sterling, and Hong Kong dollars, alongside local currency accounts.
Omar Al Ansari, Head of International Wealth & Premier Banking for Qatar, highlighted that WorldTrader brings together global market access, digital convenience, and HSBC's international wealth expertise in one platform. Customers can research, fund, trade, and manage their investments through a unified wealth dashboard within HSBC Online Banking.
Al Ansari noted that the platform caters to today's investors' priorities, such as access to international markets, ease of use, timely market insights, and ability to manage investments in one place.
WorldTrader is powered by Interactive Brokers, a leading global electronic brokerage firm, which provides automated trade execution and custody services across international markets via a unified platform.
