DNB is an AI trading platform made for regular people, not pros. Having tried it hands-on, we score it A-. The phone app really shines — it's simple to use. We explain the good and the not-so-good below.
Best for: First-time investors who want a simple app and want to keep costs low.
Not for: Professional traders who use complex strategies, or anyone who needs round-the-clock phone support.
DNB is one of the few trading apps that focused on getting the important things right — like keeping your money safe and being honest about costs — rather than flashy ads. Based on our months of testing, we land on A-.
The one thing we'd change is a couple of fees that could be lower. Happily, those are simple fixes — the app itself is solid.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. In our testing, everything went through without fuss and you usually got a fair price, which isn't always true elsewhere.
For everyday stock trades, it does the job well. Fancier options trades can sometimes be a little slower — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
Stock trades cost you nothing — no commission. That's a big plus.
Where it costs a bit more are certain extras, that are pricier than some rivals. It's all shown before you pay, so nothing sneaks up on you.
The app is really well made. It's quick and simple to use, even if you've never invested before.
There's handy info inside the app — charts, company info, and news — and it tells you where it comes from. There's a desktop version too, though the app is the star.
Keeping your money safe is where DNB does well. Your money is held in a separate account, so it's protected even if the company runs into trouble.
It's licensed and overseen by regulators and gets checked by outside auditors. If you buy crypto too, it's kept with a trusted, licensed partner — which is worth knowing.
All told, we rate DNB A- for everyday investors. It gets the basics right: simple, safe, and fair.
To get top marks, DNB just needs to trim a couple of fees. We update our reviews regularly every so often.
