Our verdict on each

eToro

eToro suits new investors who want shares, crypto and cash interest in a single app, with an account fee of $0 and a stock trade fee of $0. The catch is the withdrawal fee of $5 flat fee, which makes it a poor fit for anyone moving small sums in and out often.

Read the full eToro review

Openbank

Openbank runs a Spanish current account, an easy-access savings pot paying 2.75% and a Mastercard debit card from one app. It suits savers who want interest paid monthly with no lock-in, and households that want everyday banking and card spending in one place.

Pros and cons

eToro

Pros

  • Interest on the USD cash balance pays 3.8% on a variable basis, calculated daily and paid monthly, and withdrawals are allowed at any time.
  • Regulated by Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and SIPC, with client asset protection of EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 and deposit protection of EU DGS up to EUR 100,000.
  • Minimum deposit $1 to $10,000 and minimum portfolio investment $500 keep the starting point low, and fractional shares are among the listed features.

Cons

  • Withdrawal costs $5 flat fee each time, which makes small, regular transfers expensive next to the $0 stock trade fee.
  • Client asset protection of EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 sits well below deposit protection of EU DGS up to EUR 100,000, so a large share portfolio can outrun the cover.
  • Taker fee 1% sits above the 0.25% median, which matters for anyone trading crypto often rather than holding.

Openbank

Pros

  • Interest is credited monthly, and money is withdrawable at any time in full or in part, accrued interest included
  • Transfers between the current and remunerated account are free and immediate, and the card runs on mastercard
  • The Mastercard debit card carries a currency conversion fee of 0% with a multi-currency feature for travel

Cons

  • The headline rate of 2.75% sits below the site median, which stands at 3%
  • The credit card has a rewards type of none, so nothing comes back on card spending
  • The robo adviser takes a management fee of 0.42% to 1.03% and needs a minimum investment of €500

Who each suits

eToro

Who it suits

  • New investors, since the audience is listed as beginners and the minimum deposit is $1 to $10,000.
  • Investors who want cash and markets together, with USD balance interest at 3.8% alongside stocks, etfs and forex.
  • UK savers who want a tax wrapper, since an ISA sits among the isa on offer.

Who should look elsewhere

  • bunq, which covers stocks, etfs and crypto and suits anyone who wants shares, ETFs and crypto and can set derivatives aside.
  • CFI, for readers who want stocks, etfs and forex and can leave futures aside; eToro is the wider of the two.
  • Fiesta Credito MX, which answers to CONDUSEF rather than Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and SIPC, for readers trading outside those markets.

Openbank

Who it suits

  • Savers who want interest paid monthly and no fixed term
  • Households that want a current account, a savings pot and a card in one app
  • Travellers who want a multi-currency card

Who should look elsewhere

  • Wise, if a multi-currency account with a monthly fee of £0 matters more than deposit interest
  • Starling Personal Account Debit Card, which charges a monthly fee of £0, if a UK current account fits better
  • Varo Believe Secured Credit Card, which has a monthly fee of $0, if building a credit record is the aim

Questions about each

eToro

What does eToro charge to open and run an account?+

The account fee is $0 and the monthly fee is $0, so the account costs nothing to hold. Stock trades are charged at $0 and the platform describes itself as commission-free. Managed portfolios carry a management fee of 0%. Money moving out is the exception, at $5 flat fee per withdrawal.

Is my money protected at eToro?+

eToro is regulated by Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and SIPC. Client assets sit under investor protection of EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, while cash deposits are covered by a separate scheme at EU DGS up to EUR 100,000. These ceilings are very different, so anyone holding a large share portfolio should treat the lower figure as the real limit on recovery.

Openbank

What does it cost to hold the account?+

Openbank charges a monthly fee of €0 and a credit card annual fee of €0. Transfers between the current and the remunerated account are free and immediate, and a stock trade costs €1, so everyday banking adds very little.

How much interest do I earn?+

The easy-access account pays a headline rate of 2.75%, credited monthly, and the rate type is variable. The site median stands at 3%, so the offer sits in the middle of the market rather than at either end.
