Frequently asked questions

How is Nemo.money different from other investing apps?

Nemo.money combines commission-free trading, curated stock themes ("Nemes"), and 6% AER interest on uninvested cash in one platform. This makes it easier to learn, discover opportunities and invest, all in a single app.

Is Nemo.money good for beginners?

Yes, Nemo.money is designed for beginners and experienced investors alike. It simplifies investing through curated stock categories (“Nemes”), insights, educational content, and a user-friendly mobile app. The platform also offers commission-free trading.

Can I invest in the full list of stocks within a neme rather than individual stocks?

Not yet, but we’re working hard on letting you invest in a neme as whole soon. Watch this space! ⬅

Can I invest in ETFs?

Yes. Nemo offers around 1,500 ETFs to choose from. When you invest in an ETF (exchange-traded funds), you get a bundle of assets you can buy and sell during market hours—potentially lowering your risk and exposure, while helping to diversify your portfolio.

Can I invest in cryptos?

Yes, you can. Your Crypto CFD account is readily available as soon as you complete the registration process.

However, you should know that while investing in cryptos through this account you are not actually buying the digital coins, but rather speculating on their price going up or down. There are a number of advantages to investing in crypto CFDs with Nemo: no need for a crypto wallet, speed of transaction, lower fees, regulatory protection, and no exposure to theft or loss.

Can I trade commodities, FX, indices?

Yes, you can trade the most popular commodities, currency pairs, and indices with your Boost account in Nemo.

Can I buy only a fraction of a share?

Absolutely, yes. Instead of having to purchase a whole stock, with Nemo you can become the owner of a slice of your favourite companies based on how much you’re willing to invest 🍰.

Can I use leverage?

Yes, in your Boost account. In Nemo, we call Leverage the Boost Factor. The Boost Factor depends on what you choose to trade:

Indices: 20:1

Commodities (excl. Gold): 10:1

Gold: 20:1

Forex: 30:1

What are the trading hours?

Trading hours vary depending on the market you are looking to invest in. For each market, Nemo will guide you showing you when it’s open, or closed, in your local time ⏰. 

Can I use Nemo.money in the UAE?

Yes, Nemo.money is available to users in the UAE. You can open an account, fund your wallet, invest in global markets and earn 6% AER interest on uninvested cash directly through the app.

Why can investing in the UAE mean you pay less tax?

If you live in the UAE you won't pay income tax or capital gains tax on the money you make from investing*. If you have moved to the UAE from another country, it is often better to invest in stocks and shares with a UAE broker, than to invest with a broker from your "home" country where you will likely have to pay income tax or capital gains tax on the profits you make from investing. 

Tax rules and obligations are complicated. Given the complexity, we have to recommend you consult with a tax advisor for your specific situation. 

* For residents of the UAE, a US tax on dividends (30%) is automatically deducted from any dividends you receive from US-based stocks and ETFs traded on Nemo.

What fees will I be charged?

Investing and trading with Nemo is commission-free. However, there are some typical costs everyone who invests and trades is subject to. These are:

Spreads: It is the difference between the BUY and SELL price of the instrument you’re investing in. This is a cost for participating in the financial market, and everyone in the world who invests or trades pays it.

Overnight financing (also known as swaps): You will incur these if you are actively trading via your Boost account. It is the cost of keeping a position open overnight when trading leveraged CFDs.

What is ‘Limit your losses’?

When you are opening a trade via your Boost account, you can limit your losses by setting a maximum loss at which your position will automatically close. This protects you from losses you're not willing to incur.

What is ‘Lock-in profit’?

When you are opening a trade via your Boost account, you can set a target profit and, if the price moves in your favour, your position will automatically close at the right time to cash it in.

How can I earn interest on my money with Nemo.money?

You can earn interest by holding uninvested cash in your Nemo Wallet. Nemo.money offers up to 6% AER interest, with interest calculated daily and paid daily.

The 6% rate applies to eligible balances upto $20,000. Terms and eligibility criteria apply.

How is the interest rate calculated and paid?

Interest is calculated daily based on your total wallet value at the end of each day and is paid daily at the applicable rate.

You can track:

  • Total interest earned in your Portfolio
  • Daily interest payments in the Wallet → Interest tab
Is there a minimum balance I need to maintain to earn interest?

Interest is paid only on days when your Wallet balance generates at least $0.01 in interest.

At a 6% AER rate, this typically requires a minimum balance of around $30. This threshold may vary depending on the current interest rate.

Is there a limit on how much I can earn 6% interest on?

Yes. The 6% annual interest rate applies to balances up to $20,000. Any funds above this amount will not earn the 6% rate.

This cap helps us continue offering a competitive rate while maintaining a sustainable and reliable savings experience for all users. You’ll still have full access to your entire balance at all times, with no restrictions on deposits or withdrawals.

Do I have to invest to access the interest rate?

No. You do not need to invest to earn interest.

All users with eligible funds in their Nemo.money Wallet can earn interest on their uninvested cash.

What is the interest rate for non-invested balances?

We are offering 6% Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) interest on non-invested account balances in your Nemo wallet. We will notify in line with our Client Agreement if there will be any change to the interest rate.

Do I need to lock my money to earn interest?

No, there are no lock-in periods.

You can deposit, withdraw, or use your funds for investing at any time while still earning interest on your available balance.

I prefer not to receive any interest on my money. Can I opt-out?

Yes. You can opt out of earning interest at any time by turning off the interest toggle in your Profile within the Nemo.money app.
