Consorsbank review

The account fee is €0, so holding the account carries no charge. Stock dealing costs €0.95 per trade on the securities account, and the account also covers forex and CFDs. Cash held earns 3.6% interest.

eToro lists $0 for stock trades, while Consorsbank charges €0.95 per trade. That makes this the pricier option for someone placing many orders, and the cheaper one for occasional dealing in single shares.

The listed markets are stocks, etfs and funds. Shares, ETFs, funds and bonds sit alongside forex and CFDs, so a single account covers long term investing and leveraged products. Crypto is not among them.

Both a mobile app and a demo account appear in mobile app and demo account. The demo account is the useful part for anyone weighing the CFD side, since it shows how the account behaves before committing cash.

The warning attached to this account is that 72.62% of retail accounts lose money, close to the 72% typical across CFD brokers. Leverage makes losses move faster, which is why demo practice matters.

It fits investors who want securities and leveraged products in a single account, do not mind a per-order dealing charge of €0.95, and value an account fee of €0. Frequent traders pay more per order than at a commission-free platform.

Not on this account. The listed markets are stocks, etfs and funds, and crypto is not part of them. CFI covers stocks, etfs and forex, so anyone whose focus is crypto should weigh that platform instead.

Both sit at the free end: Vantage lists an account fee of $0 and Consorsbank €0. The account fee column will not separate them, so the deciding factors are the per-order dealing charge and the market list.
