Questions about each
Exness
What does Exness charge to buy a stock?+
Share dealing runs at a stock trade fee of $0, and the pricing model is listed as commission-free and low-fee. On this site's stock trade fee ranking Exness sits at 1 of 161, so the per-trade cost sits at the cheap end of the brands compared. Deposits and withdrawals carry no charge either.
Does Exness charge an inactivity fee?+
The inactivity fee is $0, so a dormant account is not billed for sitting still. Exness ranks 1 of 56 on this measure, at the top of the table of brands compared. Some rivals charge for unused accounts, so this saves money for anyone who opens an account and leaves it quiet for a while.
What is the minimum deposit on Exness?+
The minimum deposit is $10, which is modest next to the median across the brokers here, €4.64. It is not the cheapest way in: CFI asks for $0 and Vantage for $5. On the minimum deposit ranking Exness sits at 100 of 213.
What does it cost to deposit and withdraw?+
There is no deposit or withdrawal fee, so moving money into and out of the account costs nothing on this side. That sits on top of the $10 minimum deposit needed to open the account. It removes a charge that eats into returns at brokers that levy a payment or payout fee.
