Mintos Launches Commission-Free Stock Investing
In a groundbreaking move for retail investors,
Mintos, a prominent multi-asset investment platform in Europe, has announced the launch of commission-free stock investing. This new service opens up the stock market to broader participation by allowing investors to access over 4,000 of the most traded stocks from the U.S., Europe, and globally, with an entry point as low as
€1.
Empowering Investors with Greater Accessibility
Investment opportunities have significantly expanded in Europe, with nearly one in ten adults having engaged in buying or selling shares between 2022 and 2025. Recent statistics from the
European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) reveal that around 35 million people participated in stock trading during this period. In Germany alone,
14.1 million individuals held shares or equity funds in 2025, indicating a growing trend towards active retail investment. Additionally, Spanish households reached their highest share of ownership in domestic companies in four years, at
16.7%.
No Fees, No Complications
Mintos stands out as the
exclusive platform in Europe offering commission-free stock trading without order or custody fees. Investors can manage their stocks without facing tiered subscription costs, making it easier for newcomers to start investing. On Mintos, transactions in U.S. stocks are conducted in euros without any currency conversion charges, simplifying the investment process further. Investors can participate with fractional shares, mitigating the barriers caused by high stock prices.
“We aim to eliminate the hurdles that fees can create for people venturing into stock investment, particularly when they are starting with smaller amounts,” said Martins Sulte, the CEO and Co-Founder of Mintos. “Our platform not only allows access to stocks but also empowers users to manage a diverse portfolio, all from a single account.”
Flexible Investing Options
Mintos accommodates varying investment styles by offering the choice between manual investing and pre-defined investment plans. Investors can buy and sell available stocks themselves or opt for automated contributions at their chosen frequency—weekly, monthly, or quarterly. This flexibility is designed to meet the needs of both active traders and those who prefer a hands-off investment approach.
A Broad Selection of Investments
The stocks available for trading on Mintos are curated from well-known companies across various sectors, including
technology,
healthcare,
financials,
energy, and
materials. Traded at current market prices in euros, the stocks reflect a wide spectrum, ensuring that investors can find choices that align with their interests and risk preferences. Mintos plans to expand its catalog over time, continually enhancing the options available to users.
Conclusion: A New Era of Investing
With its unique proposition of commission-free stock investing starting at just €1, Mintos positions itself as a pioneering force in the European investment landscape. As retail participation in stock markets continues to rise, Mintos facilitates a simplified and engaging investment experience for individuals looking to build and diversify their portfolios efficiently. The integration of various asset classes—including stocks, bonds, ETFs, and real estate—under one account emphasizes Mintos’s commitment to innovation in the investment field.
In a rapidly evolving market, Mintos not only sets the stage for increased retail investment but also promotes financial literacy and accessibility, helping a broader audience navigate the complexities of stock investing without the worry of prohibitive costs.
