Experience wallmarkets like never before! Install our platform on your phone or desktop for instant access, offline support, and an app-like experience - no app store required.
Install wallmarkets as an App: Now Available as a Progressive Web App
We're excited to announce that wallmarkets is now a Progressive Web App (PWA)! This means you can install our platform on your phone, tablet, or desktop for a fast, app-like experience - without downloading anything from an app store.
What's a Progressive Web App?
A Progressive Web App combines the best of both worlds: the reach and accessibility of a website with the features and performance of a native mobile app. Think of it as having the wallmarkets app on your device, but without taking up much storage space or requiring updates from the app store.
