online broker

Web investment intermediary

An online broker is a financial services company that allows customers to buy and sell securities—stocks, bonds, mutual funds—through a website or app rather than through a human broker.

Online brokers typically charge lower fees than traditional brokerages: I opened an account with an online broker to start investing.

The term sometimes extends to platforms for trading cryptocurrency or other assets.
