From 9 October 2026, there is a small fee on investment orders, both when you buy and when you sell. Shares you already held before then can be sold free until 31 March 2027.
How much it costs
Each order costs 0.20% of the order amount, with a minimum of $0.25. On Pro, the fee is capped at $15 per order; on Prestige, it's capped at $10 per order.
Order | Essential | Pro | Prestige |
Buy | 0.20%, min $0.25 | 0.20%, min $0.25, capped at $15 | 0.20%, min $0.25, capped at $10 |
Sell | 0.20%, min $0.25 | 0.20%, min $0.25, capped at $15 | 0.20%, min $0.25, capped at $10 |
Sell shares you held before 9 October | Free until 31 March 2027 | Free until 31 March 2027 | Free until 31 March 2027 |
Holding stocks | Free | Free | Free |
The fee percentage is the same for market and limit orders. Fractional share orders are available on every plan. Limit and stop orders are available on Prestige only.
Examples
These examples show the 0.20% / $0.25 minimum before any plan cap applies. On Pro, nothing above these examples would exceed the $15 cap; on Prestige, an order above $5,000 would be capped at $10 instead of the percentage shown.
Order amount | Fee |
$50 | $0.25 (the minimum) |
$125 | $0.25 |
$500 | $1.00 |
$2,000 | $4.00 |
$7,500 (Pro) | $15.00 (capped) |
$7,500 (Prestige) | $10.00 (capped) |
Orders up to $125 pay the $0.25 minimum. Above that, you pay 0.20%, up to your plan's cap if you're on Pro or Prestige.
Shares you already held
Shares you held before 9 October can be sold free until 31 March 2027, on every plan. Shares you buy from 9 October onwards are charged the standard fee when you sell them.
Example: you held 10 Apple shares before 9 October, and bought 5 more on 15 October. If you sell all 15, the first 10 are free and you pay the fee on the other 5 only.
From 1 April 2027, all sells are charged the standard fee.
Common questions
Do I need to do anything?
No. Your holdings, balance and the rest of your nsave account carry on as normal.
Why was I charged to sell a stock?
From 9 October, sells are charged unless they're covered by shares you held before that date. If you sold more shares than you held on that date, you pay the fee on the extra shares only.
Does it cost anything to hold my stocks?
No. There is no fee for holding stocks, for as long as you keep them.
Is the fee different on Pro or Prestige?
The percentage and minimum are the same on every plan, but Pro caps the fee at $15 per order and Prestige caps it at $10 per order. Essential has no cap. Limit and stop orders are available on Prestige only.
