Our verdict

iBoard suits individual investors who hold or plan to open an SSI account and want a price board, TradingView charts, conditional orders and a portfolio in one place. The trade-offs: a flat 0.15%-0.25% online fee with no volume discount, trading outages in 2020 and 2021, and an App Store listing that names English as the app's only language.

Best for: Individual investors trading stocks, funds and derivatives through SSI

Skip it if: People who only want a price-tracking app without a brokerage account

Pros

  • Trades equities, bonds, derivatives, covered warrants and ETFs on web and mobile
  • TradingView charts, conditional orders, order hotkeys, portfolio and P&L history

Cons

  • The press documented two order outages (18 Aug 2020 and 7 Jul 2021)
  • In Dec 2022 the State Securities Commission fined SSI VND 200 million for breaching lending restrictions

Experience & key features

SSI iBoard is the trading platform of SSI Securities Corporation, founded in 1999. SSI's website reports an 11.09% brokerage market share on HOSE. iBoard comprises iBoard Web in the browser and the iBoard Pro mobile app, used to follow prices and place orders.

Per SSI's feature pages, iBoard offers a price board, watchlist, analysis tools, equity and derivatives trading, margin loans, conditional orders, TradingView charts and IPO registration. Asset tools include portfolios, P&L history and statements; S-Products covers S-BOND and S-FUND. Up to three order hotkeys can be configured.

The app is free to download; the real cost is brokerage on total daily traded value. Under SSI's schedule effective 6 Sep 2021, online orders cost 0.15% for self-directed customers and 0.25% for customers with a consultant broker, regardless of volume. Only orders placed via staff are tiered: 0.35% under VND 100 million, 0.30% from VND 100 million to under 500 million, and 0.25% from VND 500 million. The schedule does not list account opening or maintenance fees, so check with SSI before opening an account.

On reliability, the press documented two incidents: on the morning of 18 Aug 2020 an unstable connection stopped customers placing orders, and on 7 Jul 2021 order recording slowed. In Dec 2022 the State Securities Commission fined SSI VND 200 million for breaching lending restrictions. If you are weighing VPS SmartOne, VNDirect or DNSE, compare the fees you would actually pay and their reliability for your own trading pattern.

Customers are responsible for their login password, trading password and token.

We have not read a standalone personal-data policy from SSI.

    Read the full account

    According to VnBusiness (14 Dec 2022), SSI lent money to customers through deposit contracts tied to bond trades and securities purchase orders; the State Securities Commission classed it as a repeated administrative violation. The article gives no decision number. The matter concerns lending, not the iBoard product or user data. No SSI response was found.

    Per SSI and VnBusiness, on the morning of 18 Aug 2020 an unstable connection stopped customers placing orders on Webtrading, Mobile Trading, Pro Trading and iBoard.

Scores

Ease of use
7.0
Why this score

The app is rated 4.4/5 on the App Store and both web and app bring price board, ordering and portfolio together. However, the App Store lists English as the app's only language, and the depth of features can overwhelm beginners.

Features
8.2
Why this score

SSI's feature pages list equity and derivatives trading, margin loans, conditional orders, TradingView charts, IPO registration, S-BOND, S-FUND, order hotkeys and portfolio reports.

Value for money
6.8
Why this score

The app is free, but the online fee is a flat 0.15% (self-directed) or 0.25% (with a consultant broker) under the schedule effective 6 Sep 2021, with no volume tiers. A VIP policy exists but its conditions are not published.

Performance
6.8
Why this score

The press recorded two outages: on 18 Aug 2020 HoSE cut SSI's online trading connection, and on 7 Jul 2021 slow order recording forced SSI to pause order channels until the afternoon session. We found no newer press-confirmed incidents.

Support
7.0
Why this score

Hotline, email and detailed guides cover iBoard Web, iBoard Pro, SMS and phone trading. We found no independent data on support quality.

Privacy & security
6.5
Why this score

SSI commits to confidentiality, but the App Store label lists identifiers used for tracking and we have not read a full personal-data policy. The Dec 2022 fine is unrelated to data.
