Pros and cons

Pros

  • Stock trades cost $0 and the minimum deposit is $0, so a small first buy is easy
  • The account fee is $0, so holding the account costs nothing
  • Options contracts cost $0.65 each, which keeps occasional options trades cheap
  • Fractional shares and a mobile app let you build a position without buying whole shares

Cons

  • Options contracts cost $0.65 each, the one per-contract charge to watch
  • Sending money out by wire costs $25 wire fee
  • Margin borrowing is priced at 12.25%, so leverage adds a borrowing cost on top of each trade

Who should look elsewhere

  • Options traders who place a lot of contracts, since each one costs $0.65

Where it sits among rivals

How J.P. Morgan Wealth Management compares

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to open a brokerage account?+

The minimum deposit is $0 and the account fee is $0, so a brokerage account costs nothing to open or run. You can hold it alongside a traditional individual retirement account, a Roth IRA and a joint account, which keeps retirement saving in the same place.

What does a stock trade cost?+

Stock trades cost $0, and the model is commission free for regular dealing. Fractional shares mean you can build a position in part of a share rather than buying whole ones, which suits a small first investment.

Are options expensive here?+

Options contracts cost $0.65 each, so a frequent options trader pays more than someone who only deals in shares. Options are one of the markets you can trade alongside stocks, exchange traded funds, bonds, funds and crypto.

Can I borrow to invest?+

Margin is available and the rate is 12.25%. Borrowing against the account magnifies gains and losses as well as cost, so it suits only money you can leave in place without touching.

How do I move money in and out?+

Sending money by wire costs $25 wire fee, which matters if you shift money often. You manage the account in the Chase mobile app and on the website, so day to day dealing needs no branch visit.

What account types can I open?+

Account types include a traditional individual retirement account, a Roth IRA and a joint account. That covers most households saving for retirement or investing with a partner, at a stock trade fee of $0.

Is this a beginner friendly broker?+

It is listed for beginners, and the tools point the same way: fractional shares, a mobile app and a stock trade fee of $0. Crypto and options sit in the same account rather than on a separate platform.

How does it compare with other brokers?+

Compare the stock trade fee, the account fee and the minimum deposit first, since it ranks 1 of 166 brands on trading cost. Then weigh options at $0.65 a contract and the wire charge of $25 wire fee if you move money often.
