New York, NY (PRWEB) April 06, 2015 -- Privately-held WhoTrades, Inc., a global broker-dealer, has acquired the Just2Trade and LowTrades brands from Washington, D.C.-based online securities broker Success Trade Securities, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through the acquisition, WhoTrades strengthens its role in the online deep discount brokerage space.
Just2Trade and LowTrades have made arrangements to immediately transfer all accounts to WhoTrades, Inc. There is no fee for clients to transfer their accounts as a result of the acquisition. Additionally, commissions, margin rates, and trading platforms will remain exactly the same.
The transaction promises current Just2Trade and LowTrades customers new and exciting features to come. The strong financial and personnel background of WhoTrades ensures the implementation of development plans for Just2Trade’s technology – such as a fully streaming option application and an HTML 5 trading application.

WhoTrades CEO Tosin Osunsanya said of the acquisition, “This deal made a lot of sense for us. When considering a transaction like this one, we look for synergies with WhoTrades or being an industry disruptor. In the case of the Just2Trades and LowTrades brands, we believe we got both.”
