New offerings for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Echo Auto
give investors a pulse on the markets while on-the-go
TD Ameritrade1 has launched a suite of in-vehicle experiences
through your smartphone, giving investors one more way to stay up
to date with the markets anytime. TD Ameritrade is delivering on
its commitment to transform lives and investing for the better by
integrating with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Echo Auto.
This announcement marks the latest in TD Ameritrade’s ongoing
efforts to bring market access and information to investors in even
more places. Having been the first to offer trading over the phone,
on a desktop, and through a mobile app, late last year TD
Ameritrade was also the first to announce voice-activated investing
on Amazon Alexa-enabled devices. In-vehicle solutions represent a
natural next step in the company’s efforts to use innovative
technology to enable investors to engage with the markets when and
where they choose.
With drivers logging more and more miles year after year,
Americans spend a lot of time in traffic. According to a report
issued by INRIX, Inc. in February 2019, American drivers lost an
average of 97 hours last year due to congestion. The same report
estimated that the 2018 cost of sitting in traffic nationwide was
nearly $87 billion, an average of $1,348 per driver. But for those
who follow the financial markets closely, that loss is compounded
by untold missed opportunity.
To help investors maximize their time and productivity safely,
TD Ameritrade is unveiling new in-vehicle optimized experiences for
connected drivers.
Those using Apple CarPlay can keep track of the latest
real-time market news with a new TDAN Radio app from the TD
Ameritrade Network2. Drivers can now listen to select TD Ameritrade
Network news broadcasts live via audio streaming optimized for
CarPlay.
Drivers using the Android Auto and Echo Auto
platforms now have the option to use voice commands to unlock
market performance summaries and sector updates, hear real-time
quotes, check account balances and portfolio performance, and
more.3
“In a connected world like ours, we have to meet investors where
they are, whether at home, in the office, or on the go,” explains
Sunayna Tuteja, head of strategic partnerships and emerging
technologies at TD Ameritrade, Inc. “In-vehicle technology offers a
new type of connectivity that further breaks down barriers to
accessing financial education and markets.”
“From long commutes to the great American road trip, Americans
spend a lot of time in cars, and technology has completely changed
the way we spend that time. Today, drivers expect their car to map
their course, or to play their favorite song. But we’re just
scratching the surface of what’s possible,” said Vijay Sankaran,
Chief Information Officer at TD Ameritrade. “To us, this is a
natural next step, building on our unprecedented collaboration
momentum and representing yet another way we’re using complex
technology to weave investing seamlessly into our daily lives.”
