What is brokerage fee?
Brokerage fee is the price the brokerage house charges to execute a purchase or sale on the stock exchange. Brokerage fees is often stated as a minimum amount and as a percentage rate. You must pay the minimum amount regardless of how low the amount you trade for is, and if the percentage rate amounts to more in pounds and pence than the minimum rate, the percentage applies.
Example: NOK 1 or 0.035 percent
In the welcome offer, the minimum price is NOK 1, and the percentage rate is 0.035 percent. You pay a minimum price of NOK 1 for trades up to NOK 2 857. On trades above this amount, 0.035 percent of the trade amount will be deducted.
When the welcome period is over, you automatically receive the fixed price associated with your customer programme.If you are between 18 and 28 years old, you then pay NOK 1 or 0.05 percent.

Which equity trading is cheapest?
When you need to trade shares, several factors influence what will ultimately be cheapest for you. Such as where you get the lowest prices on the shares you want to buy, who gives you the best exchange rate if you trade abroad, and what the VPS account will cost you. In other words, there is more than brokerage that comes into play.
Before you choose a provider, you should therefore check more than brokerage. Think about what and how often you want to trade.
