You have come to the right place if you've never opened an online trading app in your life.

Today, we're looking at the most popular platforms for investing in Ireland, which one might suit you as a beginner and the costs you need to watch out for.

I'm Aideen Finnegan, and this is Better With Money from The Irish Times.

The Irish Times.

I'm joined today by Dan Malone, Chartered Accountant, Chartered Tax Advisor and a Qualified Financial Advisor.

Hi, Dan.

And you also have a new website too, honest.ie.

Great.

And I suppose we may mention that we are going to talk about online trading apps today.

So you have a couple of affiliates with the website as well?

Okay.

Before we go on, this is the bit where I have to sound like a radio ad.

Investing carries a risk of losing your money.

This podcast is for information purposes only and doesn't constitute financial advice.

I mean, you've got to do your own research.

So, Dan, we have spent so many episodes of Better With Money learning about investing for beginners.

But there is one thing I'm still not clear on, and that is how to DIY it.

I have to say, as a woman, I feel like I'm probably playing catch up.

It feels like men use these apps a lot.

You know, it's kind of like checking the sports results or something.
