Settrade’s stock trading platform, Streaming, is getting a refreshed overhaul, including front-end upgrades and back-end improvements to accommodate shifting user behaviors and increasing cybersecurity safeguards.
The application is available to download now and will run alongside the current app until the end of March 2027, when the old version will be retired.
Investors can currently log in with their existing username and password.
“This isn’t just a new look,” said Amatee Prapapan, Managing Director of Settrade. “We went back to basics and thought about how investors actually use the app, and what still isn’t convenient. After more than 10 years on the previous version, it was time to change.”
The redesign has three aims: fit the way people invest, fix investors’ pain points, and add features that support investing. The main changes extend to easier and more functional search, where users can now find stocks by keyword, such as “bank stocks,” without needing the ticker, and a new trading screen with built-in explanations of technical terms to help beginners navigate the trading landscape. The upgrade will also include a one-stop research function, where users can look up historical financial statements and key company data.
The overhaul is Settrade’s bid to catch up with a decade of changing investor habits. It is also a play for retention: as more Thais put money into global markets, a better app gives them a reason to stay engaged with the SET.
Key Takeaway
After a decade on the same app, Settrade is rebuilding for a new generation of Thai investors. Features like keyword search, built-in explanations, and paper trading target first-timers and aim to keep them on the SET as overseas markets compete for their attention.
