Wall St regulatory fees
When you sell shares on U.S. markets, a couple of regulatory fees apply in addition to your regular brokerage fee. These charges are set by U.S. market regulators and apply to all traders – not just Stake customers. These fees are automatically applied to sell orders and will appear on your trade confirmations and in your Tax & Documents section on Stake.
