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.

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 Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date.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.
