Mintos Revolutionizes Investment by Offering Commission-Free Stock Trading Starting at Just €1

Mintos Revolutionizes Stock Investment

On October 13, 2026, Mintos, the leading European multi-asset investment platform, announced the launch of a groundbreaking service: commission-free stock investment starting at just €1. This innovative offering gives retail investors access to a diverse range of over 4,000 of the most traded stocks not only from the US but also from Europe and across the globe.

With this new service, Mintos establishes itself as the unique platform in Europe where individual investors can manage a single account that encompasses Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), stocks, bonds, loans, real estate assets, cryptocurrency ETPs, and Smart Cash. This reflects a notable evolution in the way that investors can engage with financial markets, catering especially to the burgeoning interest in stock trading among everyday individuals.

According to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), nearly one in ten adults in the EU, amounting to around 35 million people, actively bought or sold stocks between 2022 and 2025. Highlighting this trend, a report from Deutsches Aktieninstitut noted that 14.1 million individuals in Germany possessed stocks or equity funds as of 2025, significantly higher than previous years. In Spain, household ownership of shares in publicly listed companies reached 16.7% in 2025, the highest in four years.

A Barrier Removed

One of the significant hurdles for many potential investors has been commission costs, particularly for those looking to invest smaller amounts. Martins Sulte, CEO and co-founder of Mintos, expressed the platform's aim to remove these barriers to entry. “Commissions can deter individuals from beginning to invest, especially with small amounts, and we intend to eliminate that barrier,” he stated. In Mintos, not only do investors trade without incurring costs on operations or custody, but they can also do so without the need for subscriptions or payment plans.

Mintos allows trading of US stocks in euros, successfully eliminating the complexities and costs associated with currency conversion. Furthermore, through fractional shares, investments can begin at just €1, regardless of the individual stock's price.

Flexible Investment Options

Mintos provides a variety of investment management options, catering to the preferences of different investors. With manual investing, users can buy and sell stocks on their own and make decisions for each transaction. Alternatively, investment plans allow users to select a stock, specify an amount, and determine a frequency for automatic investments, which can be set for weekly, monthly, or quarterly contributions.

Focus on Top Companies

The selection of stocks available through Mintos emphasizes the most actively traded and sought-after companies across varied sectors, including technology, semiconductors, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, mining, and materials. Stocks are priced in real-time euros, with execution of orders happening instantly during market hours. Mintos plans to gradually expand this catalogue, ensuring that users have access to a rich selection of investment opportunities.

A Wider Investment Offering

This new stock trading service augments the existing investment offerings at Mintos, which already includes over 1,000 commission-free UCITS ETFs, alongside a portfolio of Core ETFs. This latter option allows for automatic rebalancing, starting from a minimal investment of €50, without any management fees from Mintos.

Now, assembling a diversified portfolio across multiple asset classes no longer necessitates the use of several different platforms. Mintos also simplifies the management of investments by providing a consolidated investment statement that encompasses all of the investor's positions. This integrated approach not only enhances user convenience but also supports greater investment engagement among a broader audience.

Conclusion

Mintos indeed marks a pivotal moment in making investment opportunities more accessible and flexible for retail investors. By breaking down financial barriers and fostering inclusivity in stock trading, it sets a benchmark in the investment space that could reshape the future of how individuals interact with financial markets.
