37/100
Points
MeinBroker is operated by Kaiser Global Invest GmbH of Hamburg (HRB 146660) and is a tied agent under the liability umbrella of ATVANTIS Asset Management GmbH, with BaFin register number 80171176. Despite the CFDs and forex positions included in the offer, the focus is on trading genuine securities on over 130 exchanges. We therefore rate MeinBroker under our depot methodology and not under the methodology for CFD and forex brokers.
Highlights of our MeinBroker review
- MeinBroker scores 37/100 points in our rating.
- The securities depot is free, and a current account with the provider is not required.
- European shares cost €3.79 per order, and US shares start at US$2.
- There is no public information on savings plans, a mobile app or free real-time prices – which costs points in several chapters.
Table of contents
1 Depot fee
20/20
Points
The securities depot at MeinBroker is free. There is no ongoing depot fee and no waiver tied to conditions, which secures the full score in this chapter.
A current account with the provider is likewise not necessary. Deposits and withdrawals run through a reference account at the customer's own bank, so no additional account is required.
Scoring (20/20): Free depot management earns 15 points, and the unneeded current account a further 5 points.
2 Trading costs
5/25
Points
The price list is clear: shares in Europe cost €3.79 per order, and US shares start at US$2. For derivatives, MeinBroker quotes €1.89 per option, €1.89 per future, €2.29 per warrant and €2.99 per CFD, and forex is traded from 0.1 pips. A one-off investment of €500 on a European exchange therefore costs €3.79.
German trading venues including Xetra are reachable, which matters for buying liquid ETFs. A savings plan offer with stated execution costs is not publicly documented, so we cannot award points for that criterion.
Scoring (5/25): Without a verifiable savings plan offer, the 12 points for the execution costs of a €400 ETF savings plan are dropped. The €500 order, at €3.79, falls between €3 and €7 and brings 2 out of 10 points, and the possible Xetra order the full 3 points.
3 Savings plan offer
0/20
Points
MeinBroker makes no public statements on ETF or share savings plans. Neither a number of securities eligible for savings plans nor free savings plans or a minimum savings rate is documented. We therefore award the lowest level in all three criteria and expressly point out that this concerns missing information.
The provider positions itself through access to many exchanges and personal service, not through automated wealth building. Investors who want to invest a fixed instalment every month would have to place each execution manually as an individual order and pay the regular order fee.
Scoring (0/20): Because neither the number of savings plans, free savings plans nor a minimum savings rate can be verified, this chapter stays at 0 out of 20 points.
4 Product range
8/15
Points
MeinBroker advertises access to over 130 exchanges worldwide. For shares, the offer is therefore clearly above the top threshold of our methodology. The provider does not publish the specific number of tradable ETFs, however, so we cannot award points for that criterion.
Bonds are tradable, as are derivatives in the form of options, futures, warrants and CFDs. We could not verify that cryptocurrencies are tradable, so the middle level applies to the combined criterion.
Scoring (8/15): Because the number of tradable ETFs is not published, there are 0 out of 6 points there. For the over 130 exchanges and the correspondingly broad range of shares we award 6 out of 6 points, and for two of three categories among crypto, derivatives and bonds 2 out of 3 points.
5 Interest & extras
0/8
Points
MeinBroker does not publicly state any interest on uninvested balances in the settlement account. At an interest rate level where competitors pay 2 to 3 percent on the settlement account, that is a noticeable disadvantage for investors who at times hold larger amounts of cash.
There is also no new-customer bonus. Neither a reward for opening a depot nor a transfer bonus for switching from another broker is documented.
Scoring (0/8): With no verifiable interest on the settlement account 0 out of 5 points, with no new-customer bonus 0 out of 3 points.
6 Usability
0/8
Points
We could not verify a mobile app of its own for iOS or Android for MeinBroker. The provider also makes no public statements on free real-time prices. For both criteria we therefore award the lowest level – this is an assessment of transparency, not necessarily of actual performance.
Prospective customers should ask about these points specifically before opening a depot. Whether real-time prices are included in the price or billed as a market data package per exchange has a considerable effect on cost at a provider with over 130 trading venues.
Scoring (0/8): With no verifiable mobile app 0 out of 5 points, with no verifiable free real-time prices 0 out of 3 points.
7 Customer service & security
4/4
Points
MeinBroker can be reached by phone on +49 40 882155612, and the provider advertises personal service around the clock. The registered office of Kaiser Global Invest GmbH is Wollinerstraße 32, 22143 Hamburg.
MeinBroker is not an independently licensed institution but a tied agent under the liability umbrella of ATVANTIS Asset Management GmbH (BaFin register number 80171176). Regulatory liability is therefore borne by the liability umbrella, not by MeinBroker itself – a difference investors should be aware of.
Scoring (4/4): Free German-language phone support earns the full 4 points.

Conclusion: MeinBroker review
37/100
Adequate (4.2)
MeinBroker offers a free depot with access to over 130 exchanges and low derivative costs – quite usable for active self-directed investors. The result suffers mainly from a lack of transparency: there is no public information on savings plans, the number of ETFs, an app or real-time prices, and in our methodology only what can be verified counts. The provider is not the right choice for a long-term ETF savings plan.
