Changes to our pricing

On 4 March 2023, we’ll be increasing our brokerage fees for the first time.

In just five years, Stake has expanded a global presence across three continents, quickly chasing down many of the establishment brokers. As we transition from challenger to leading modern brokerage – and amidst rising costs in the current economic environment – this change is part of continuing to build out a robust financial services company while still innovating on products and services for you.

The change introduces competitive brokerage fees on Wall St trades which are currently $0.

As always, Stake continues to provide you fantastic access to the markets with over 6,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, as well as OTC stocks all delivered in a clean, market-leading investing experience.

New Brokerage fees (from 4 March 2023):

The above brokerage fees will apply to all trades of securities, including over the counter (OTC) and exchange traded funds (ETFs).

• There will be no change to our FX fee for converting GBP to USD and vice versa.
• There will be no change to either the monthly or annual membership cost of Stake Black.

You can see our full current pricing here, still effective until 4 March 2023.

We wanted to ensure that you had plenty of notice about this change. If you’d rather transfer your portfolio out of Stake to another broker, you can do so at any time.

From 4 March 2023, over-the-counter trades will be offered to all Stake Wall St customers, in line with the new pricing. This means OTC stocks will no longer be exclusive to Stake Black, nor free to trade within Stake Black.
