SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) and Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:SIEB) announce the launch of the Muriel Siebert & Co. Inc. (Siebert) discounted online trading platform through Overstock.com’s FinanceHub™.
The platform, which was announced last December, allows any investor in America accessing the Siebert portal through Overstock.com’s FinanceHub™ the opportunity to conduct trades of US equities at discounted prices.
Members of Overstock’s Club O Gold loyalty program will be charged $1.99 per trade, while non-Club O Gold members will be charged $2.99 per trade.
“Muriel Siebert was a woman who stood for integrity in capital markets, and I am pleased for Overstock.com to be associated with the firm she founded. We have integrated so as to be able to bring to the public this discount trading platform, priced with an eye towards re-democratizing capital markets in the US,” said Overstock.com and tZERO CEO Patrick M. Byrne.
Gloria E. Gebbia, majority shareholder and board member of Siebert Financial Corp. said, “We are excited and view this agreement as an excellent growth opportunity for Siebert to connect with Overstock's customers, many of whom are women grappling with financial challenges including retirement planning. Through this initiative, we will continue to honor the trailblazing legacy of our founder, Muriel F. Siebert, who obtained a seat on the NYSE to address the pay inequality she experienced working on Wall Street. So, we are especially pleased to optimize the Overstock consumer experience by offering discounted trading, along with other quality retail brokerage services, designed to meet the financial and investing needs of all our clients.”
In addition to discounted trading, Club O Gold members also enjoy free shipping on every order and at least 5 percent rewards on every purchase. Club O Gold membership is available for $19.95 annually.
Overstock changed previously-announced plans of creating an additional loyalty program tier to house these brokerage services, in order to extend the discounted trading opportunity to the entire Club O Gold member base.
