Real Shares and ETFs investing is 0% commission up to €100,000 invested per calendar month. Investments at or above €100,000 per calendar month (or £/$ equivalent) will be charged 0.2% commission with a minimum €10 per trade.

So for example: Let’s say you want to invest £10,000 in Lloyds Banking Group shares. As this amount is below the €100,000 threshold, meaning you are not charged any commission on the trade i.e. 0%. However, let's say you want to invest £110,000 in Lloyds shares. The initial £87,000* is free of commission (€100,000 converted to the GBP equivalent), and you’ll be charged 0.2% on the remaining £23,000 (i.e. £46) as this exceeds our €100,000 threshold for zero commission investing.

We also charge a small 0.5% FX fee for converting your currency when you invest in stocks which trade at different currencies to your base currency. For example, if you have a GBP account but invest in US stocks traded in USD. Here we will first need to convert the amount you wish to invest into USD as part of executing the investment. You can avoid these fee’s by opening the relevant currency account as XTB UK offers GBP, EUR and USD investing accounts.
