What Is DEGIRO and What Does It Offer?
Updated
DEGIRO is an online stockbroker based in Europe that lets you trade stocks and other investments yourself through its own platform. It is aimed at self-directed investors and positions itself around low trading commissions and transparent fees, with access to more than 50 exchanges in 30 countries and over 2 million products. If you want a low-cost, do-it-yourself brokerage account with broad international market access, DEGIRO fits that profile; if you want advisory services or a managed portfolio, this is not that kind of platform.
What DEGIRO provides
Global market access
DEGIRO states that investors can reach more than 50 exchanges across 30 countries, which supports diversification beyond a single home market. The product range is listed as over 2 million products, and you build and manage the portfolio yourself.
Low fees and transparent terms
The platform's core pitch is "incredibly low fees" and "no fine print" — clear fees and straightforward terms and conditions. Note that the available page material does not list specific commission amounts, account minimums, or whether any services require payment or login, so check the current fee schedule on the site before relying on cost assumptions.
Research and market information
DEGIRO bundles data and tools into the account:
- ESG ratings and Analyst Views on products, sourced from LSEG Data & Analytics
- Real-time quotes, interactive graphs, financials and ratios, with data from LSEG Data & Analytics and Infront
- A 10-layer deep order book on Euronext
- Economic calendars, global market overviews and daily financial news
Organisation tools
You can save stocks to custom favourite lists, follow news on them, and record your own notes alongside holdings — useful if you research ideas before trading rather than trading on impulse.
Account security
Login uses two-factor authentication (2FA), with a choice of different 2FA methods to reduce the risk of third-party access. The site also emphasises safekeeping of investments and cash as a priority.
How to judge whether it suits you
| Your need | Does DEGIRO fit? |
|---|---|
| Low-cost, self-directed trading across international markets | Yes — this is the stated core offering |
| Built-in research, charts and analyst commentary | Yes — ESG ratings, Analyst Views, real-time quotes and news are included |
| A broker that manages money or gives personal advice | No — the platform is built for you to invest your own way |
| A specific answer on total cost for your trading pattern | Not from this page — verify against the current official fee schedule |
Practical next step
Before opening an account, confirm three things on degiro.com: the fee schedule for the exchanges and products you actually plan to use, the account and login requirements for your country, and which 2FA method you will set up. Then use the demo-style research features — favourite lists, charts and analyst views — to test whether the platform's information layout matches how you like to work.
