WeBull is a zero-commission trading platform that allows users to trade stocks, options and ETFs on US markets. Unfortunately, it’s only available to US residents, so you can’t access WeBull from Australia.
The good news is that there are several other US stock trading platforms that offer zero or low-cost brokerage for Australians. Here are six options worth considering.
WeBull is a commission-free stock trading platform that offers real-time market data. Users in the US can trade stocks, options, ETFs and ADRs on WeBull and the platform is specifically designed for mobile users.
WeBull is popular for its no-fee trading, zero account minimums and user-friendly interface. It’s a solid choice for casual investors, but also offers a range of advanced charts and analysis tools to suit more experienced traders.
You can find out more in the WeBull review from Finder US – just remember that you can’t access the platform unless you’re a US resident.
Just like WeBull, eToro doesn't charge any commissions when you trade US stocks. The platform is perhaps best known for its social trading approach and the copy trading feature that lets you make the same moves as eToro's top traders. eToro also lets you access stocks, forex, CFDs and cryptocurrency from one account, opening up a wide range of trading possibilities.
Trading CFDs and forex on leverage is high-risk and you could lose more than your initial investment. It may not be suitable for every investor. Refer to the provider’s PDS and consider the risks before trading.
IG doesn’t just offer commission-free trading on US stocks and ETFs, it also offers zero-fee trades on global markets including the UK, Germany and Ireland. You can also trade shares on the ASX, though brokerage fees apply, and use your IG account to trade forex, cryptocurrencies and commodities.
When you open a CMC Markets stockbroking account, you can trade local and international shares, ETFs, options and more. ASX trades attract a brokerage fee, but trades on global markets (including the US) are commission free. CMC Markets also offers a separate account for CFD trading if you want to diversify even further.
If you open an online trading account with Saxo Capital Markets, you can trade global stocks, ETFs, bonds, forex, CFDs and more. Saxo Capital Markets offers access to shares on the ASX, the NASDAQ and the NYSE in the US, as well as a wide range of exchanges across Asia and Europe. However, be aware that brokerage fees apply.
Stake is designed to provide Aussie investors with easy and affordable access to US stocks. Account holders can trade over 3,800 stocks and ETFs on US exchanges like the NASDAQ and the NYSE. There’s also a paid monthly plan available for traders who want to access advanced features, but Stake doesn’t offer leverage trading or access to other assets such as forex.
Interactive Brokers is a US-based online trading platform that offers access to a huge range of global markets. You can trade everything from stocks and ETFs to forex and metals, with access to the ASX, NASDAQ, NYSE, London Stock Exchange and more. Brokerage fees are low, but the fee structure is complex and the advanced features of this platform are better suited to experienced traders.
