SMARTBROKER+ Review, Pricing, and Features
SMARTBROKER+
SMARTBROKER+ combines a German self-directed securities account with broad exchange access and low-cost gettex execution. Custody is free, eligible gettex orders from €500 can cost €0, and eligible savings-plan executions are free. The exact venue, order size, currency and product determine actual cost, while the advertised interest account remains separate from brokerage settlement cash.

Crypto-ETP trading inside the depot is distinct from SMARTBROKER+'s separately opened crypto-wallet service and its own provider terms. See the SMARTBROKER+ fee schedule for your country.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
