Sharesies has competitive pricing whether you’re investing in NZ or the US. We charge a subscription fee to use the service, and then a transaction fee for companies in NZ, and for companies and ETFs in the US. There’s also a small currency exchange fee for US trades.
Choose to pay your subscription monthly or annually. Your first month is free!
A Kids Account is half the price of an adult subscription. Find out more in our help centre.

Sharesies charges a transaction fee when you buy and sell shares in companies. These are also known as ‘brokerage fees’. We charge the same brokerage fee for US companies and ETFs—but charged in US dollars.
We charge a transaction fee based on the dollar-value you buy or sell:
If you made an order of $6,000 in a company, this would include a $18 transaction fee. $15 for the first $3,000 (0.5% x $3,000), and $3 on the remaining $3,000 (0.1% x $3,000).

If you buy shares in more than one company they’re treated as separate orders and have separate transaction fees.
You can only trade on the US markets with US dollars.
We charge a 0.4% exchange fee when you change NZ dollars into US dollars, and US dollars into NZ dollars. You do this currency conversion in Sharesies before you buy or sell shares, or during the buy or sell process.
There’s a management fee built into the price of ETFs and managed funds.
These are charged by the fund manager, not Sharesies. Some fund managers also charge a buy or sell fee that they include in the price. The fees are different for each fund, so please check the fund info before you invest.
