FAQs
Why has BUX decommissioned Stryk?
We are reevaluating the position of speculative trading products within our group’s overall offering. Our intention is to focus more on mid and long-term investing via the BUX app which offers real stocks, ETFs and more. As part of this change in strategy we are decommissioning Stryk, our CFD trading app.
This decision was not taken lightly, and it comes after carefully considering several factors:
Pivot to Wealth Building. We have been increasing the group’s focus on products that enable longer-term wealth creation. We believe that this aligns the company’s interests better with those of our clients. The launch of the BUX app for stock and ETF investing in 2019 was the first public step in this new direction. The decommissioning of Stryk completes the strategic pivot.
Regulatory Environment. The landscape for CFDs has changed significantly since we entered the CFD market. In this environment, we believe that our resources are better directed toward the BUX mobile app which focuses on mid and long-term investing and is poised for healthy growth in the coming years.
Business Sustainability. Concentrating on our mid and long-term investment offerings allows us to streamline our operations and allocate resources more efficiently, ensuring the sustainability and growth of our business in general.
