At the end of May, Nordnet launched digital trading on the stock markets in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Ireland. Now, the range of exchanges on Nordnet's platform is once again expanding, and from today, it's possible to trade shares directly on the website or in the app on the exchanges in Italy, Switzerland and Austria. Real-time quotes for these three new markets are also available to all Nordnet customers free of charge starting today.

"We are now opening the doors to the Milan, Zurich and Vienna exchanges, allowing savers to invest in well-known companies such as Nestlé, Ferrari and UBS. The interest in investing in Europe has steadily increased throughout the year, and it feels great to be able to meet the savers' interest with concrete deliveries," says Rasmus Järborg, Chief Product Officer & Deputy CEO at Nordnet.

Today's launch includes all shares listed on each country's main exchange, totaling nearly 500 companies. Among the more well-known names are Nestlé, Novartis, Roche and UBS (Switzerland); Ferrari, Leonardo and Unicredit (Italy); and OMV AG, Erste Group, Voestalpine AG, Raiffeisen Bank and Andritz (Austria).

"The venues we are now introducing all play an important role in the European financial landscape. Zurich is one of the leading exchanges in Europe with a large number of listed companies and a focus on finance and pharmaceuticals. Milan is Southern Europe's financial capital with an emphasis on design, fashion, automotive and the banking sector. Vienna plays a strategic role as a hub for financial markets in Central Europe and also acts as somewhat of a bridge to emerging markets in Eastern Europe," says Rasmus Järborg, Chief Product Officer & Deputy CEO at Nordnet.
