eToro was founded in 2006 by three young professionals who were eager to challenge the common ways in which the foreign exchange market functioned.

In order to provide services to the growing retail sector of the Forex community. eToro invented and designed a visual trading platform that is easy to understand and easy to use. eToro wanted to establish a new platform in which traders as well non-traders can take advantage of the large foreign exchange market and in doing so we challenged the common belief that the foreign exchange market needs to belong only an exclusive few. The overall entertaining tools that eToro uses in order to provide our users with the most inclusive trading experience allow everyone to experiment, learn, and excel in trading strategies.

It is clear that eToro has succeeded in redefining financial trading; ever since eToro’s establishment, trading has become user-friendly, fun and engaging.
