Editor’s pick Hands-on review

Revolut offers commission-free stock and ETF trading within a monthly allowance that scales with your plan. Beyond that, fees are tiered (as low as 0.12% on Ultra). Web trading is available in the EEA with Trading Pro, while the app is the main entry point elsewhere. Bonds, commodities, and crypto round out the product set, alongside a robo-advisor in the US with a 0.25% annual fee. Precious metals are offered but not FCA-regulated.
