Customers who use BOV internet banking can access the eBrokerage service (my money, my investments, buy or sell securities) and immediately start benefiting from this offer.

The eBrokerage service is backed by a team of skilled BOV traders who can execute customers’ trade instructions from Monday to Friday, 8 am till 5.45 pm, as well as on local public holidays. “Our customers also have the peace of mind in the knowledge that behind each channel there is a strong team of professional traders with years of training and experience to ensure that instructions are executed in the most efficient manner and in accordance with the Bank’s Best Execution practices,” continued Scicluna.
