Would you use a commission-free platform to start or increase your personal stock investments?
Investment platform Mintos has introduced commission-free stock trading, allowing users to buy and sell equities without order fees or custody charges. The service enables investors to access more than 4,000 stocks with a minimum investment of just €1.
Why it matters
By eliminating order fees and currency conversion charges, the platform aims to remove financial barriers that often prevent individuals with smaller capital from entering the stock market.
The service features a minimum investment threshold of €1 per trade across a selection of 4,000 stocks. Trades of US-listed equities are executed in euros without additional currency conversion or FX charges.
The players
Mintos
Mintos is an investment platform based in Germany that provides access to a variety of asset classes including loans, stocks, and crypto ETPs.
The details
Investors can manage their portfolios through manual trades or by using automated investment plans that allow for weekly, monthly, or quarterly contributions. This new stock option integrates with existing account holdings, including ETFs, bonds, loans, real estate, crypto ETPs, and Smart Cash.
Timeline
Between 2022 and 2025, approximately 35 million EU adults participated in share trading.
As of 2025, 14.1 million people in Germany held shares.
In 2025, Spanish households held 16.7% of listed company shares.
Mintos officially launched its commission-free stock investing service on October 13, 2026.
Market Landscape
The introduction of commission-free equity trading aligns with the broader growth in European retail share ownership observed over the last four years. By integrating stocks into a multi-asset account, the firm positions itself to capture a larger share of the diversifying portfolios held by EU investors.
Retail investors can now execute trades with as little as €1, reducing the capital required to start a portfolio. The removal of currency conversion fees for US stocks helps simplify costs for those investing across different geographical markets.
The takeaway
Investors should consider how automated plans can help maintain consistent portfolio growth when contributing on a regular schedule. Always review the available list of stocks on your chosen platform to ensure it aligns with your long-term financial goals and risk tolerance.
