Online broker Superhero is bringing brokerage costs down to some of the lowest levels yet for Aussie share traders. There’s a flat $5 brokerage rate on ASX listed shares, zero brokerage when you purchase ETFs and $5 when you sell, and zero brokerage on US shares and ETFs. Plus traders can get started with a minimum investment of just A$100 (T's & C's apply)! It's no wonder this trading account took out a 2021 Mozo Experts Choice Award in two Casual Trader categories!
Superhero is the latest online share trading platform to hit the Australian market with no monthly fee and a flat brokerage fee on share trades.
Irrespective of the type of Superhero account they sign up to, users will be able to buy and sell ASX listed shares for a brokerage fee of $5, as well as buy ETFs with $0 brokerage and sell them with $5 brokerage - some of the lowest prices currently available. Users can also trade US shares and ETFs with zero brokerage, though a 0.50% foreign exchange fee applies for transfers between AUD and US dollars.
And unlike the majority of online platforms which tend to require an investment of $500 or higher to get started, the minimum investment to use Superhero is just A$100 for users trading Australian shares. For users who are only trading US shares, the minimum account balance required would be A$50 worth of US shares.
Users will be able to transfer money via PayID or BPAY from their regular bank account into the ‘Superhero Wallet’ (a cash management account where funds are held with NAB), which they can then use to invest.
Superhero is a streamlined, low-cost option for investing in Australian shares and ETFs, so it might appeal to new investors with lower amounts to invest or traders who are looking to reduce their brokerage costs and don’t mind not having access to some of the more advanced features available with other platforms.
Bear in mind that while US share and ETF purchases won't attract a brokerage fee, there is a foreign exchange fee for transfers between Australian and US dollars.
