Technical Requirements for Investment Platform Access

We've designed our platform to work smoothly across modern devices and browsers — no complicated setup needed.

Before you start exploring long-term investment strategies with Velcord, it helps to know what you'll need. Our requirements are straightforward because we believe technology should support your financial decisions, not complicate them.


Browser Compatibility

Most people already have what they need. Our platform runs on current versions of major browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all work well. We test regularly on these to catch issues before they affect your experience.

  • Chrome version 110 or newer gives you the best performance
  • Firefox users should run version 108 or later
  • Safari 16 works great on Mac and iOS devices
  • Edge 110+ provides solid functionality on Windows

Older browsers might work but you could miss out on smoother interactions and faster loading times. Keeping your browser updated also helps with security — something we both care about when dealing with financial information.

Device Specifications

You don't need a high-end machine. We've optimized the platform to run efficiently on typical consumer hardware because we know not everyone upgrades their devices every year.

Component Minimum Requirement Recommended
Processor Dual-core 1.6 GHz Quad-core 2.0 GHz or better
RAM 4 GB available memory 8 GB for smoother multitasking
Display 1280x720 resolution 1920x1080 for better chart clarity
Connection 5 Mbps download speed 25 Mbps for real-time updates
Storage 200 MB free space 500 MB for cached data

These numbers come from real testing with clients across Ontario and Quebec. The recommended specs help when you're analyzing multiple portfolios or running detailed reports — tasks that benefit from extra processing power.

Security Settings You'll Need

We take security seriously, but we've tried to keep the requirements practical. Your browser needs to accept cookies for authentication — that's how we keep your session secure without making you log in constantly.

  • JavaScript must be enabled for the platform to function properly
  • TLS 1.2 or higher encrypts your connection automatically
  • Third-party cookies from velcord.com should be allowed
  • Pop-up blockers may need exceptions for document downloads

Most browsers have these settings enabled by default. If you've customized your security preferences, you might need to add an exception for our domain. The platform will let you know if something's misconfigured.
