There are no companies in this category yet.

This section covers brokers and banks through which people buy shares, bonds, funds and other exchange-traded instruments. Unlike margin trading with a forex broker, here the client usually owns the securities themselves, and the company holds them in the client's account.

These firms operate under licences from national regulators and must meet capital requirements and keep client money separate from their own. That does not remove market risk, but it does mean the client has a clear way to complain and a deposit protection scheme to rely on.

For each company we show its licences, country of registration and client reviews — on fees, support, deposits and withdrawals.
