neon invest.
Easy.
Low-cost.

In our case, it means that for a new feature like investing, we release a beta version before the final app release. This allows us to involve you in the final phase of the development process. In other words: We will «stress test» the feature to find any bugs or weird UX designs and fix them with your help.

The beta phase is a so-called «open beta» – all neon users can participate. The beta phase will last the whole of May. We plan to release the final version of the app in early June. If you have any suggestions, praise or constructive criticism, please write to us at feedback_at_neon-free.ch. Thanks for being a part of it! Please note: Although the beta app is already a solid version and we are fine-tuning it with you, there might be interruptions where you cannot trade.

There are no custody fees with us, which is advantageous if you want to hold the shares and ETF for longer. For Swiss shares and all ETF, you pay 0.5% of the purchase or sale price per transaction, for international shares the fee is 1.0% – there are no additional fees for currency exchange. In addition, you pay the obligatory Swiss stamp duty – for Swiss shares and ETF you pay 0.075% stamp duty, for foreign shares and ETF 0.150%.

We offer you a large selection of the most traded shares in Switzerland and the world as well as the most important ETF.

Your shares and ETF are traded on the BX Swiss exchange, formerly the Bern stock exchange.

You can buy and sell shares and ETF from Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 17:00. Here you can see on which holidays the exchange is closed.

In the near future, we plan to allow you to order a buy/sell outside stock exchange opening hours. Let's say you want to sell your Tesla share at midnight on Tuesday, but the stock market is closed. In this case, you would enter a pending order in the app to sell your Tesla share on Wednesday morning when the market opens at 9:00am. Please note: The displayed price of the share may differ from the actual (sale) price on the next day.

Yes, because your investments belong to the so-called special assets, which are not part of the bank's bankruptcy estate. To put it more simply: your investments always belong to you.

Regardless of whether you invest on a large scale and buy one (or more!) Lindt share(s) or only invest 10 CHF per month – we do not set any limits, neither for the minimum nor the maximum amount.

At the moment, we support so-called market orders. This means that the purchases/sales are executed immediately at the best current price. 

In the future, we would also like to enable you to place limit orders. With a limit order, you set a minimum or maximum price – as soon as your share reaches the minimum or maximum price you set, it is automatically bought or sold.

For legal reasons, you must be at least 18 years old to invest in the neon app.

Our prices in the app are as fresh as the croissants at the bakery in the morning. Every time you see a price in the app, it is requested directly from BX Swiss in the background. 

When the stock exchange is closed, the last price is displayed – i.e. the price at the close of trading. If you look at the detailed price history of a share or an ETF, the times without data (i.e. at night or at the weekend) are skipped.

The short answer: To make it easier for you and to avoid having to convert currencies, we can trade directly in CHF with BX Swiss.

The longer answer: Our exchange BX Swiss offers a very advantageous spread as well as a good buy/sell price, which already includes the currency conversion. This means for you: Double win - you get a good buy/sell price and you have no additional costs for the currency exchange later on.

In Switzerland, the Federal Tax Administration levies the so-called stamp duty when buying or selling a share, an ETF and other securities. The bank or broker – in our case Hypothekarbank Lenzburg – collects this tax and passes it on to the state. For Swiss shares and ETF you pay 0.075% stamp duty, for foreign shares and ETF 0.150%.
