Milan, 20 April 2021 - MarketWall, a fintech company specialising in finance and trading IT solutions, has set up the new investment firm InvestoPro Sim.

To date, thanks to the early launch of a beta phase in recent months, InvestoPro.com can already count a community of over 2.5 million visitors per month from all over the world through its channels: website, social network, smart TV, mobile app and progressive web app.

Intesa Sanpaolo customers will soon have the opportunity to access InvestoPro.com and activate the online trading service with their credentials.

The Virtual Trading feature also enables users to put into practice what they have learned and gain experience without running risks, by investing virtual capital.

With this in mind, we have created InvestoPro, the first FinTech Sim. A first step as part of a broader disruptive innovation process that will soon see the offer of payment services, social trading and much more."
