You can imagine an online broker as the link between the investor and the stock exchanges, i.e. those markets on which shares, ETFs, bonds, etc. are traded.
In the past, the broker was a physical person who participated in the market at the cries. The broker was therefore an expensive and difficult figure to reach. Today, on the other hand, with the advent of technology, the broker has become online and allows anyone, for the payment of a modest commission, to place buy/sell orders on the stock exchange, at previously unimaginable speeds.
