What you'll actually pay
Estimated yearly cost in three scenarios. Only verified fees are counted. Each trade moves a twelfth of the portfolio; per-share commissions assume a $50 share; currency conversion is counted once, on the whole portfolio. An inactivity fee is shown separately and applies only if its condition is met.
Heads-up: inactivity fee
Charged per quarter in the account currency (USD, EUR, GBP or CHF; 40 PLN for PLN accounts), and only once the Client Area is Dormant: 12 months and 10 days with no trading, open positions, withdrawals, transfers or deposits, and a balance of 50 or less (250 PLN). If 10 or less is left, the remainder is written off. Not included in the totals below.
