justTRADE review 2026

According to the schedule of prices and services, justTRADE holds the securities account without a custody fee. There is no minimum deposit, no minimum turnover and no condition linked to trading activity under which the fee waiver could lapse. No fees are charged for custody account transfers or closing the account either. The settlement account belonging to the custody account is also held free of charge. A separate current account at justTRADE or a partner bank is not required to use the custody account; deposits and withdrawals are made via a reference account of your choice. No ongoing costs therefore arise on the account side. Scoring (20/20): Custody is unconditionally free of charge, which gives the full 15 points. Since no current account is needed, the full 5 points are added.

Savings plan executions are free of charge at justTRADE. There is neither an execution fee nor a percentage flat fee, so even a savings plan of 400 euros is executed without a fee. The broker's revenue instead comes from the spread at the connected trading venues. For one-off investments, the schedule of prices and services shows a third-party cost flat fee that varies by trading venue. At LS Exchange and via Tradegate BSX it is 1.00 euro per order, at other venues 2.90 euros. An order of 500 euros therefore costs 1.00 euro in the best case. Trading via Xetra is not possible at justTRADE; the broker connects only off-exchange trading partners and regional exchange venues. Scoring (20/25): The free savings plan earns the full 12 points. At 1.00 euro, the one-off investment falls exactly in the band up to 1 euro and therefore scores 8 of 10 points. Xetra is not tradable, which gives 0 of 3 points.

The savings plan offering is the broker's clearest weakness. On its savings plan page, justTRADE states 177 savings-plan-eligible ETFs, with around 290 securities in total available for savings plans. This puts the provider far below the methodology's lowest threshold of 500 savings plans, even though more than 1,800 ETFs, ETCs and ETPs can be traded. The gap between the tradable and the savings-plan universe is unusually large at justTRADE. All savings plans on offer are free of charge, but this does not compensate for the small selection, because the methodology measures both criteria against the same quantity threshold. The minimum savings amount is 25 euros per execution, which is at the upper edge of what the rating still rewards with a point. For savers with small instalments, or for spreading money across several positions, this is a noticeable hurdle. Scoring (1/20): With 177 ETF savings plans, the minimum threshold of 500 is clearly missed, which gives 0 of 8 and 0 of 7 points. The minimum savings amount of 25 euros only just reaches the lowest band and earns 1 of 5 points.

In the tradable universe, justTRADE is much better positioned than in savings plans. The broker states more than 10,000 tradable shares and more than 1,800 ETFs, ETCs and ETPs, with the pure ETF share above 1,500. Trading takes place at nine trading venues, including LS Exchange, Tradegate and Quotrix. Crypto assets can be traded directly at justTRADE and are not only represented via ETPs, which sets the broker apart from many competitors. Derivatives such as certificates and warrants from several issuers are also on offer. Trading in bonds, by contrast, is not shown on the product pages, so this asset class is missing. Scoring (12/15): More than 1,500 ETFs reach the band from 1,000 and therefore 4 of 6 points. More than 10,000 shares earn the full 6 points. Since only two of the three required asset classes are tradable, crypto and derivatives, there are 2 of 3 points.

The schedule of prices and services shows the credit interest rate on the settlement account as subject to change, currently 0.00 per cent p.a. Uninvested capital therefore remains entirely without interest, regardless of the size of the balance or how long it is held. justTRADE does not offer an interest-bearing instant-access savings product as an alternative. The broker does not advertise a new-customer bonus. There is only a refer-a-friend programme with a 25-euro reward, which is tied to a referral by an existing customer and is therefore not a generally available new-customer bonus. Even if it were counted, the amount would be below the lowest threshold of 50 euros. Scoring (0/8): The credit interest rate of 0.00 per cent is below the entry band of 1 per cent, which gives 0 of 5 points. There is no new-customer bonus of 50 euros or more, hence 0 of 3 points.

The justTRADE app is available for iOS and Android. With 4.1 stars in the App Store and 4.1 stars in the Google Play Store, ratings on both platforms are below the 4.5-star threshold that the methodology requires for full points. The app covers the functionality of the web browser, but feels simpler to use than at larger competitors. On price data, justTRADE is above average: the broker provides real-time push prices for all nine connected trading venues free of charge, without activation and without an additional subscription. This makes it possible to compare execution quality between trading venues directly, which is particularly relevant for a broker without a Xetra connection. Scoring (6/8): The app is available on both platforms but remains below 4.5 stars, which gives 3 of 5 points. The free real-time prices earn the full 3 points.

justTRADE's customer service is exclusively in writing. The service page offers a contact form, an email address and an extensive FAQ section. The broker does not show a telephone number where customers can clarify custody account or order questions. For time-critical matters such as a failed order or a blocked login, this is a real disadvantage, because customers depend on the processing time of written support. On the security side, the picture is unremarkable: the custody account is held through a German partner bank, balances are covered by statutory deposit protection (Einlagensicherung), and securities are special assets (Sondervermögen). Scoring (0/4): Telephone support is not offered, which gives 0 of 4 points.
