About us

eToro is the trading and investing platform that empowers you to grow your knowledge and wealth as part of a global community.

We all want our money to work harder. Some of us are beginners, some more experienced, but we all wish that we could do better.

eToro was founded in 2007 with the vision of a world where everyone can trade and invest in a simple and transparent way.

We believe there is power in shared knowledge. So we’ve created an investment community built around social collaboration and investor education. Our platform is designed to provide you with the tools you need to grow your knowledge and wealth.

We can become more successful by investing together.
