Mintos Launches Commission-Free Stock Investment Service

Mintos, a prominent European multi-asset investment platform, has unveiled a groundbreaking service that allows individuals to invest in stocks without incurring any brokerage fees. This innovative offering lets investors access a diverse selection of over 4,000 highly traded stocks from the U.S., Europe, and other global markets for as little as €1. Notably, Mintos stands out as the sole platform in Europe enabling individual investors to manage ETFs, stocks, bonds, loans, real estate, crypto ETPs, and Smart Cash within a single account.

Growing Interest in Stock Markets Across Europe

Recent trends indicate a rising interest among individuals in participating in stock markets throughout Europe. According to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), nearly one in ten adults in the EU—approximately 35 million people—engaged in stock trading between 2022 and 2025. In Germany alone, 14.1 million people held stocks, equity funds, or ETFs as of 2025, marking a substantial increase of two million from the previous year. Similarly, Spanish households owned 16.7% of shares in publicly listed firms, the highest proportion in four years, according to BME data.

No Brokerage Fees: A Game Changer for Investors

Mintos offers a unique advantage by enabling stock investments without any brokerage or custody fees. Investors benefit from a straightforward access model with no subscription or payment plans required. On the Mintos platform, U.S. stocks are traded in euros, eliminating currency conversion fees. Furthermore, investors have the flexibility to purchase fractional shares at a starting price of €1, regardless of the stock's full price.

"We believe that fees can often prevent individuals from entering the stock market, especially when they are investing smaller amounts. Our goal is to eliminate this barrier," said Martins Sulte, CEO and co-founder of Mintos. "Our pricing structure is just one aspect; Mintos has now become the only platform in Europe where investors can hold stocks alongside ETFs, bonds, loans, real estate, crypto ETPs, and Smart Cash, all within a single account. This represents a significant advancement for investors looking to build and manage a truly diversified portfolio."

Flexible Investment Plans Tailored to Individual Needs

Mintos also provides various options for managing stock investments. Investors can opt for manual trading, thereby taking control over their buy and sell decisions. Alternatively, they can choose investment plans that allow them to specify a stock, investment amount, and frequency of contributions. This automated approach enables weekly, monthly, or quarterly investments at their convenience, and investors can establish multiple plans simultaneously.

Curated Selections of Trending Stocks

Instead of merely focusing on the quantity of stocks available, Mintos prioritizes highly traded stocks that are frequently sought after by investors across areas like technology, finance, healthcare, energy, and materials. Stocks are quoted in euros at real-time market prices, with orders executed immediately during trading hours. The selection will expand over time, incorporating more opportunities for investors.

Expanding Investment Offerings

The introduction of stock investing complements Mintos's existing range of investment instruments, which already includes over 1,000 UCITS ETFs available without transaction fees. Additionally, Mintos offers a Core ETF portfolio, accessible from just €50, that is automatically rebalanced and incurs no management fees from Mintos.

With this new offering, investors no longer need to juggle multiple platforms to build a diverse portfolio across various asset classes. Mintos provides a consolidated investment statement to track all an investor's holdings seamlessly.

In summary, Mintos's latest initiative marks a pivotal shift in the investment landscape for individual investors in Europe. By enabling entry into the stock market without the burden of fees and offering a vast array of investment options under one roof, Mintos is set to redefine the future of personal investing.
