Online brokerage UP Fintech Holding Ltd.’s (TIGR.US) list of global credentials is growing longer as it continues to expand outside China where it was founded.
On Monday, the company, best known for its Tiger Brokers service, said its TradeUP Securities unit, a U.S. broker-dealer that UP Fintech acquired in 2019, became a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This means UP Fintech can now offer its customers direct access to the NYSE, enabling them to execute trades there faster and at lower costs by eliminating the need for use of third-party middlemen that charge transaction fees.
