Mintos introduces commission-free stock investing from €1
Investors can now trade stocks without fees on Mintos platform.
Mintos, a European investment platform, has launched a commission-free stock investing service, allowing investors to access over 4,000 stocks starting from just €1. This initiative positions Mintos as the sole platform in Europe where retail investors can manage a diverse range of assets, including stocks, ETFs, bonds, and cryptocurrencies, within a single account.
The new offering comes as retail investment in stock markets is on the rise across Europe. According to the European Securities and Markets Authority, nearly 35 million adults in the EU engaged in stock trading between 2022 and 2025. In Germany alone, the number of individuals holding shares, equity funds, or ETFs rose to 14.1 million in 2025, reflecting a growing trend in personal investment.
Mintos' stock investment feature eliminates order and custody fees, making it easier for individuals to begin investing without the burden of additional costs. The platform allows trades in euros without currency conversion fees, and investors can purchase fractional shares in various stocks.
Martins Sulte, CEO and Co-Founder of Mintos, emphasized the importance of removing financial barriers, stating, "Fees can make it harder for people to get started with stocks, especially when they're investing smaller amounts, and we want to remove that barrier." He also noted that the platform's thorough asset management capabilities represent a significant advancement for investors aiming to create diversified portfolios.
Investors using Mintos can choose between manual investing or setting up automatic investment plans, which allow them to define the stock, investment amount, and frequency. This flexibility caters to different investment styles and preferences, making it accessible for both novice and experienced investors.
The stock selection on Mintos focuses on widely traded companies across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and finance. The platform plans to expand its stock offerings over time, ensuring that investors have access to a broad range of investment opportunities.
This announcement from Mintos highlights the growing trend of commission-free trading platforms, as more individuals seek cost-effective ways to engage in stock markets. The move aligns with the increasing interest in retail investing, particularly among younger demographics.
