NZ doesnt have much going for it in terms of access to international equities. If you have over $10k USD, you can get an interactive brokers account, their API is a bit rubbish and commissions are normally around $6.00 USD flat. Otherwise Direct Broking via Jardens, commissions are c. $30 NZD per trade. Sharesies are apparently launching international equities later in the year, but they dont offer API access.
- teruakohatu 6y agoThanks for the response. I was hoping for API access. It is a pity that companies don't expand here when they open an AU branch. That said, I don't blame them as our regulators are very inflexible, I used to love ipredict until it was shutdown.
- phyalow 6y agoYeah, simply put New Zealand is far too small of an addressable market to really warrant much attention.
- smabie 6y ago~17 USD/trade? Jesus christ that's high..
