What is SBI証券Plus and how does it differ from the existing app?

It is a new asset management app focused on simple portfolio views, dividend tracking, and AI-curated updates. Unlike a full trading interface, it centers on clarity and timely context. You can review holdings and news in one place, then move to other SBI tools when you want to place orders.

Is the app free to use for SBI Securities customers?

SBI has introduced the app as part of its service lineup. At launch, there is no indication of a separate fee for downloading or using core features. Standard account fees, product costs, and trading commissions still apply when you buy or hold investments through SBI’s platforms.

When will Android users get access?

iOS releases from the evening of February 21 with staged availability. Android support will follow soon after, based on SBI’s rollout plan. If you do not see the app in Google Play yet, check again over the next few days and watch SBI’s announcements for timing updates.

Does the app allow trading, or is it for viewing only?

SBI証券Plus focuses on viewing your portfolio, tracking dividends, and reading AI-curated updates. It is designed to guide next best actions rather than act as a full trading terminal. When you are ready to trade, you can use SBI’s existing channels to place orders.
