Pros and cons
Pros
- Account fee of €0, so keeping the account open costs nothing.
- Stock trade fee of €0.95 per trade, which keeps dealing costs modest for steady buyers.
- One account covers stocks, etfs and funds, so a spread of assets sits together.
- Trade through Mobile App, Desktop and Profi Software, and mobile app and demo account includes a demo account for trying the app first.
Cons
- Dealing is the pricier side, with €0.95 for each stock trade, so frequent trading adds up.
- Investor protection of EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 is a stated ceiling, so large balances sit above it.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, which suits people who prefer a phone call or email to live chat.
Who it suits
- German residents who want stocks, etfs and funds in a single account.
- Long term holders who care most about a standing charge of €0.
- New investors who want to practise first, as mobile app and demo account includes a demo account.
Who should look elsewhere
- Crypto traders, because bunq covers stocks, etfs and crypto while S Broker's stocks, etfs and funds stops short of crypto.
- Forex and CFD traders, since CFI covers stocks, etfs and forex.
- Readers after a lender such as Fiesta Credito MX, which works under CONDUSEF rather than Bundesanstalt fuer Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht and European Central Bank.
Deposit protection
The company is regulated by Bundesanstalt fuer Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht and European Central Bank, so the German financial supervisor and the European Central Bank both oversee it. Deposits sit behind investor protection of EU ICS up to EUR 20,000. That is a European scheme with a stated ceiling, so it suits investors whose balance fits inside the amount rather than those holding very large portfolios.
The company behind it
The brand is run by S Broker AG & Co. KG, registered in Germany. Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so a phone call and email sit alongside a help centre for questions. The registered entity is the name to look for on contracts and statements, and it is the same entity the regulators are named against.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to run an S Broker account?+
The account fee is €0, so there is no standing charge for keeping the account open, and each stock trade costs €0.95. On the site that puts S Broker at 1 of 142 brands on the account fee and 115 of 166 on dealing. Cheap to hold, ordinary to trade.
What can I buy and sell?+
One account covers stocks, etfs and funds, so shares, ETFs, funds, bonds and options sit together. Instruments such as crypto, forex and CFDs are not part of that list. If those are your plans, bunq with stocks, etfs and crypto or CFI with stocks, etfs and forex covers ground this broker does not.
Is my money protected?+
The company is regulated by Bundesanstalt fuer Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht and European Central Bank, and deposits sit under investor protection of EU ICS up to EUR 20,000. That is a European scheme with a stated ceiling, so it suits investors whose balance fits inside the amount rather than those holding very large portfolios.
Can I use an app and try before I start?+
You can trade through Mobile App, Desktop and Profi Software, so the same account works on the app, on the desktop or in the professional software. mobile app and demo account also lists a mobile app and a demo account, which gives you a way to try placing orders before committing real money.
How do I get help?+
Support runs through email, phone and help centre, meaning email, phone and a help centre. There is someone to ring as well as written support, so a question about a fee or a stuck order does not have to wait on email. Those channels belong to S Broker AG & Co. KG, the entity registered in Germany.
Who is S Broker built for?+
It is built for investors in DE who want a broad brokerage without a standing charge: the account fee is €0 and the market list runs to stocks, etfs and funds. Someone set on crypto or forex should weigh stocks, etfs and crypto or stocks, etfs and forex instead.
How do retail investors usually fare?+
Across the site, 70.15% of retail accounts lose money, and in the stock broker ranking it is 72.03%. Those figures describe the category rather than this broker, but they set the tone: most retail money in this kind of account ends down, so fees are only part of the picture.
