- DISCLAIMER: Comparison to other providers is based on our understanding of their published rates for trading US shares available on their websites as of 4 July 2024. We assumed account based currency is AUD and the trade is purchasing US stocks. The comparison is shown for illustrative purposes only. For confirmation of the most up to date competitor rates on different account types and product information you should visit their websites.
- Total cost considers execution commission and FX conversion costs charged by the providers, including FX spread applied. In the case of IBKR, and some other providers where readily disclosed, we have also included regulatory, clearing and exchange fees that are passed through to the client on a transactional basis for US stock purchases. Some providers charge a custody fee which has not been included here (note IBKR does not charge custody fees). For comparison purposes, all figures are shown in AUD, and where the providers, including IBKR, quote fees in USD, these are converted to AUD. The USD/AUD FX rate we used in the comparison table is 1.48965 (AUD/USD = 0.671294)

Client initiated standalone FX conversion commissions are 0.0022%, with a minimum of USD 2.20 (inclusive of GST where applicable). Note IBKR do not apply any additional FX spread on the prevailing FX rate for client initiated FX conversions. Full rate card is available by visiting IBKR Commissions.
