Need help choosing investment platform

shuffles03 · 2021-09-07 07:37:36

Hi, I’m looking to start investing a small amount each month (€300) and need help choosing a platform. I’m resident in Spain. I dabbled with Revolut but ultimately stopped. Whats a good platform - eToro, Degiro or Interactive Brokers for someone living in Spain? Cheers in advance.

Stay away from eToro. Despite their "zero commission" they charge a fortune in fx fees etc (everything must be converted to dollars and back). I also found the platform to be very unintuitive and severely lacking. Haven't used Interactive Brokers, but have many years experience with Degiro. Dirt cheap (negligible fees and charges), and find the platform easy and intuitive to use.
