If you're an Australian citizen living overseas, you can open an account with Stockspot to invest into a low cost, diversified ETF portfolio.

To open an account, head to stockspot.com.au and select 'Get Started' and complete the online application form.

To verify your ID we'll need a copy of your Australian passport plus a current utility bill or ID card with your current overseas address.

Once your application is complete, we'll set-up a cash account in your name, then you can deposit funds to start investing whenever you're ready. You then have full flexibility to top-up anytime along the way.

Viewing your investments

As a client you have full visibility over your investments in your Stockspot dashboard and the Stockspot mobile app, which updates daily with your portfolio information.

Tax

We make tax time easy, providing you with an Annual Investor Statement each financial year along with other supporting financial statements each financial and calendar year.

You can also invite your accountant or adviser to sign up as a professional and get 'view only' access to your Stockspot account.

Pricing / Fees

There are no extra costs to sign-up as a non-resident. The normal Stockspot fees apply which are based on the balance in your account - and all inclusive. No extra fro brokerage, entry or exit.

You can view the fee tiers on our Pricing page.
