Are they high or low? Does this broker have hidden fees or not? Read on to find out all you need to know about both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicfinanceinternational.org\/etoro-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eToro<\/a>&#8216;s trading fees and its non-trading fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-etoro-fees\">eToro Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to traditional brokerages, online brokerages charge low fees, and this is due to the fact that online brokerages are much more scalable and require much lower costs to operate. Online brokers make money by charging their customers different fees at different events. We wrote an extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicfinanceinternational.org\/how-does-etoro-make-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guide on how eToro makes money<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a trader, you should be attentive to the following fee types:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Trading fees, which are the fees traders pay when they make their trade, like when you buy an ETF for example. A spread, commission, or financing rate is what you pay. A commission can be either fixed or based on the traded volume, while the spread is the difference between the purchase and sell prices. Finally, when traders hold their leveraged positions for more than 24 hours, they will be charged a financing rate or overnight rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fees that are not related to trading, or non-trading fees, occur as a result of certain actions you do in your account, such as depositing money, withdrawing money, or not trading for a long period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-etoro-trading-fees\">eToro Trading Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparing CFD brokers\u2019 trading fees is never an easy thing. And to save you the headache of reviewing their long individual fee tables, we\u2019ve compared fees for a typical trade of 3 assets from each broker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are our selected assets for this comparison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Vodafone (VOD), a popular stock based in the UK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apple (AAPL), a popular US stock<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And the popular Euro-USD (EURUSD) currency pair&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical trade is a position that you hold for a week after buying and then sell at the end of the week. We chose a volume of $2,000 for stocks and $20,000 for the currency pair, EURUSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our comprehensive benchmark for broker fees includes commissions, spreads, and financing fees for each broker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is our comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-9\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-9 tablepress-responsive\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Vodafone benchmark fee<\/th><td class=\"column-2\">-<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Apple benchmark fee<\/th><td class=\"column-2\">$6.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">EURUSD benchmark fee<\/th><td class=\"column-2\">$8.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-9 from cache -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-financing-rates\">Financing rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>eToro financing rates are low.

This means that when you transfer your money back to your bank account, you have to pay a $5 fee. This, for some, may be too expensive, but it all depends on the amount of money transferred.
