Letztes Update: 29. October 2024
Europe’s leading investment platform DEGIRO has revised and simplified its pricing and eliminated many variable price components. This makes trading – especially with larger amounts on the Swiss Exchange SWX – even more attractive. The new pricing will go into effect on December 20, 2021. Here you can find a comparison of the old and new DEGIRO fees Switzerland.
You can find the article with my DEGIRO experiences and the complete review here.
Shares US stock exchanges and Canada
| Old | New | |
|---|---|---|
| USA | EUR 0.50 + USD 0.004 per share | EUR 1.00 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
| Canada | EUR 2.00 + CAD 0.01 per share | EUR 1.00 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
The variable price components do not apply to all major U.S. and Canadian exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and Toronto Stock Exchange. This makes DEGIRO more attractive, especially for larger orders. But small orders are also very cost-effective.
Shares Switzerland
| Old | New | |
|---|---|---|
| Switzerland | CHF 5.00 + 0.05% | CHF 5 + handling fee CHF 1.00 |
Oders over CHF 2,000 become cheaper on the Swiss stock exchange, as the variable price component is eliminated. Oders below that, on the other hand, will be minimally more expensive due to the third-party fee of CHF 1.00.
Shares Europe
| Old | New | |
|---|---|---|
| Germany – Tradegate | EUR 3.90 | EUR 3.90 |
| Germany – XETRA | EUR 4.00 + 0.05% | EUR 3.90 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
| Germany – Frankfurt | EUR 7.50 + 0.09% | EUR 5.00 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
| Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Spain | EUR 4.00 + 0.05% | EUR 3.90 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
| Poland | EUR 5.00 + 0.16% | EUR 3.90 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
| Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Turkey | EUR 10.00 + 0.16% | EUR 3.90 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
As you can see from the table, the pricing has been simplified considerably. And more exotic exchanges such as those in the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary and Turkey became massively cheaper. The variable price components were also abolished.
Pacific Shares
| Old | New | |
|---|---|---|
| Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore | EUR 10.00 + 0.06% | EUR 5.00 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
The same picture here: Fees have been almost halved and variable price components abolished.
ETFs
| Old | New | |
|---|---|---|
| Worldwide | EUR 2.00 + 0.03% | EUR 2.00 + handling fee EUR 1.00 |
| ETF Core Selection | free | Handling fee EUR 1.00 |
Orders above EUR 1,667 will thus become more favorable. All orders below that are minimally more expensive.
Foreign exchange
| Old | New | |
|---|---|---|
| All foreign currencies – manual transaction | EUR 10.00 + 0.02% | EUR 10.00 + 0.25% |
| All foreign currencies – Auto FX Trader | 0.10% | 0.25% |
This is where DEGIRO hits pretty hard, especially with the manual transaction. Compared to other brokers and banks, DEGIRO is still very competitive.
Conclusion
Due to the handling fee of EUR 1.00, certain transactions with small amounts became slightly more expensive. On the other hand, however, orders with larger volumes became cheaper. In particular, transactions on more exotic exchanges became more attractive. The standardization and simplification of pricing is pleasing. A bit of a shame is the increase in fees on currency exchange. But over all, DEGIRO remains true to its “incredibly low fees.”
By the way, dividend processing for existing custody profiles still costs EUR 1.00 plus 3% of the dividend (maximum 10%). There is no fee for closing the account and order cancellations are also still free of charge.
