The platform offers customers the opportunity to choose their preferred investment from a huge selection of equities listed on 17 international stock ex- changes, several ETFs and Mu- tual Funds managed by interna- tional and leading fund houses, together with a selection of local and international bonds. The upgrade includes also the introduction of real-time pric- ing on equities and ETFs. This en-sures that customers, using MeDirect for their trading, can benefit from the latest infor- mation and prices making it easier to take advantage of any trading opportunities. Moreover, the new user inter- face features improved search facilities, including guided search-es, as well as different options of how the information can be viewed on the platform through enhancements made in the dashboard functionality and other screens. In addition to these enhance- ments, MeDirect customers can continue to benefit from competi-tive tariffs when trad- ing online that have now been reviewed to ensure that the fees are sim-plified and trans- parent. Pawel Malukiewicz, Group Head – Channels and Cus- tomer Experience at MeDirect Bank Malta stated: "This im- proved investment platform is a result of the feedback re- ceived by the Bank's clients and employees, who continue to push the brand to continu- ously develop our products and services.
