Keytrade Bank review

The account fee is €0, which ranks 1 of 138 brands on that measure. The minimum deposit is €0, so there is no floor on how much you transfer in. You can open an account and add money as you go.

A stock trade costs €7.50. That is well above the market median of €0 and the upper quartile of €0.95. The account is better suited to fewer, longer holdings than to frequent trading.

Yes. An inactivity fee of €50 applies to dormant accounts. That is the main ongoing cost to watch if you stop trading, and it sits above the site median of €0.

The available markets are etfs, options and stocks. So you can hold stocks, ETFs and options in the same account, which covers a simple long term portfolio as well as some options exposure.

Yes, with a management fee of 0.91% and a minimum investment of €15,000. The portfolio options are etf, esg and cash, so a managed mandate is aimed at larger balances rather than small starter sums.

It is based in Belgium and was founded in 1998. The legal entity is Keytrade Bank, Belgian branch of Arkea Direct Bank SA, so the account sits with a bank rather than a standalone brokerage.

Support runs on email, help centre and phone, so you can reach the bank by phone or email, or work through the help centre. Phone and email are both listed, which suits questions about transfers or account documents.

Retail accounts that lose money run at 70.15% across the market, within a range of 40.3% to 88%. That is a market wide figure, not a Keytrade Bank result, and it applies mainly to leveraged trading.
