How it works

Moneyextra Trader account
If you are going to deal less than twice a month, the Moneyextra Trader account allows you to buy and sell shares online for a fixed flat fee of £15.00 with the quarterly administration fee of £2.50+VAT automatically waived with 2 or more trades. Do remember normal stamp duty and PTM levy* charges apply.
