How to buy a Fractional Share (Stock Bit)?

Thank you for stopping by. This article will guide you through the process of buying a fractional share on our platform.

To buy a fractional share, select the option to invest in dollars instead of full shares. You can start with as little as $5.

If there isn't an option to invest in dollars, it means fractional shares are not available for that stock at the moment.

If the market is open, you can proceed with your purchase as usual. Happy investing!
