FAQ
What do I need to open an account?
You need an iOS or Android smartphone, a valid UAE phone number, and your Emirates ID. When approved, you can transfer funds from your bank account to your brokerage account to start trading.
Is investing on Hura Trading commission-free?
Yes, and it will always be commission-free! Moreover, there are no fees required to open, maintain, or deposit funds into your account. You also will not be charged foreign exchange fees when you convert AED to USD to buy US stocks. If you opt to use our A.I. Smartfolios, fees will apply.
How will my account and investment be protected?
Your account and investment will be protected by the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Hura Trading has acquired its SIPC and SEC licensing through its parent company, Flip Investor Inc, and is in the process of acquiring licensing from SCA. We will launch after all legal licenses are acquired.
How do taxes work?
The UAE does not have a double taxation treaty with the United States. However, there currently is no personal income tax in the UAE. As such, a capital gains tax is not imposed on UAE nationals and residents. UAE nationals and residents do not pay capital gains tax to the US government when investing in the US stock market. Only dividends are taxed at a flat rate of 30% by the US government.
