Pros and cons
BUX
Pros
- Fees follow a low-fee model: a stock trade fee of €3.99 per trade, an account fee of €2.99 and a currency exchange fee of 0.75%.
- Regulated by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), with money held under the EU ICS up to EUR 20,000.
- Aimed at both beginners and experienced investors, with fractional shares and a mobile app listed in fractional shares and mobile app.
Cons
- The account fee of €2.99 applies on top of a stock trade fee of €3.99, so frequent trading costs add up.
- On stock trade fee it ranks 136 of 161, so cheaper share dealing sits elsewhere.
- Markets are limited to stocks and etfs, where CFI offers stocks, etfs and forex.
FXCC
Pros
- Ranks at the top of 213 brands on minimum deposit, at $0.
- A commission-free model and a stock trade fee of $0, at the top of 161 brands for that fee.
- Both a mobile app and a demo account are offered (mobile app and demo account), so you can practise before funding.
Cons
- The listed regulator is Mwali International Services Authorities (MISA), so there is no UK or EU protection scheme behind the account.
- The market list is short at stocks, forex and crypto, with no ETF, bond or fund line on it.
- Most retail accounts lose money: the share that do runs at 70.15% across the site and 72.13% in the forex list.
Who each suits
BUX
Who it suits
- Investors who want a regulated European broker covering stocks and etfs at a flat fee per trade.

Questions about each
BUX
How much does it cost to buy a share at BUX?+
A stock trade costs €3.99 per trade under a low-fee model, and a currency exchange fee of 0.75% applies on currency conversions. Because the trade fee is a flat amount rather than a percentage, the cost does not grow with the size of the order. A flat account fee of €2.99 also applies to the account.
Is there an account or inactivity fee?+
There is an account fee of €2.99, charged on the account regardless of how much it holds. That is a flat charge rather than a percentage, so it does not rise as the portfolio grows. BUX ranks 108 of 138 on this line, which places it towards the expensive end of the brands compared here.
FXCC
What does it cost to trade with FXCC?+
The minimum deposit is $0 and the stock trade fee is $0. The pricing model is commission-free, so a trade does not carry a separate commission and the usual cost sits in the spread. Support runs on email, chat and phone.
Are there fees for depositing or withdrawing money?+
The broker states No fees charged by broker, so moving money in or out of the account does not add a cost. That matters for smaller accounts, where a fixed transfer charge would eat into a balance opened at $0.
