From Legacy Broker to Acquired Fintech: The Stocko Transformation
What began as a legacy brokerage operating under the Sasonline brand became, over eight years, a modern trading platform compelling enough to be rebranded as Stocko and ultimately acquired by InCred Money. That transformation was built on the technology Tradelab delivered starting in May 2017.

| Challenge | Tradelab’s Approach | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Outdated Front-Ends: Prior to March 2017, the platform ran on legacy interfaces that could not attract or retain the active, mobile-first traders entering the market. | Platform Rebuild (May 2017): Deployed high-quality front-end solutions across Mobile, Web, and EXE platforms in a single coordinated rollout. | Proven Stability: Over eight years of maximum uptime, including through highly volatile market conditions, with no major platform incidents. |
| Onboarding Friction: The existing interface created barriers for new-age users who expected modern, intuitive tools from day one. | Scalable Middleware: Implemented a robust middleware layer to support high-volume trading and ensure platform stability at scale. | User Retention: Consistent active user engagement and satisfaction among traders, which contributed directly to brand perception. |
| Limited Feature Set: The absence of advanced features prevented the platform from competing meaningfully in the active trader segment. | Advanced Trading Features: Introduced Iceberg orders, GTT, Basket orders, customisable Marketwatch, Screeners, and Charts to meet professional trader expectations. | Strategic Outcome: The platform’s performance and product quality were key factors in the rebranding to Stocko and subsequent acquisition by InCred Money. |
