EU investors with a EUR account buying EUR-denominated UCITS ETFs pay zero FX conversion. There is no currency event — your EUR directly buys a EUR-priced asset. This is the scenario for the majority of EU passive investors on eToro today: buying VWCE or IWDA on Xetra triggers no FX charge whatsoever.

Transferring between a EUR account and a USD account (for example, to buy USD-denominated stocks or funds) currently costs 0.75% as a discounted rate valid until June 30, 2026. The standard rate reverts to 1.5% after that date unless eToro extends the promotion. For long-run cost modelling, use 1.5% as the baseline.

Investors who hold a USD-denominated eToro account and deposit or withdraw in EUR, GBP, or another non-USD currency pay 1.5% on the conversion. For a EUR investor operating a USD account, every bank transfer from a EUR account incurs this charge on entry and again on exit.

eToro operates two account types with different withdrawal rules. Holders of a local currency account (EUR, GBP, or DKK) pay no withdrawal fee with no minimum when withdrawing to a matching external account. Holders of a USD investment account pay a flat $5 per withdrawal with a $30 minimum.

For most EU investors who opened a EUR local currency account, withdrawals are completely free. The $5 fee only applies if you operate a USD-denominated account — for example, if you opened eToro before local currency accounts were available and have not switched.

eToro removed its inactivity fee on 28 May 2026. The previous $10/month charge after 12 months without login no longer applies on any account type or country. There is now no penalty for leaving your account dormant for any length of time.

Every ETF and stock trade carries the implicit cost of the spread between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price at execution. For major UCITS ETFs on liquid exchanges during core hours — VWCE, IWDA, FWRA on Xetra or Euronext — this is typically 0.01–0.05% and effectively negligible. For less-liquid assets, smaller ETFs, or trades placed outside market hours, spreads widen considerably. Always use limit orders to control your execution price.

eToro embeds its crypto trading fee in the spread rather than charging a separate commission. For Bitcoin, the spread is approximately 1% — meaning you pay roughly 1% to enter a position and a further ~1% to exit. Smaller altcoins carry wider spreads. If crypto is part of your portfolio strategy, factor this round-trip cost into your return expectations before comparing eToro with dedicated crypto exchanges.

eToro offers both real-asset positions and CFD positions on many instruments. CFD positions held overnight incur a daily rollover fee based on position size, direction, and instrument. Real stock and ETF investors — who hold the underlying asset, not a contract — never pay overnight fees. If you use eToro exclusively for real-asset long-term investing, this cost does not apply to you. CFD trading carries high risk of loss and is unsuitable for passive investors.

The Total Expense Ratio of your ETF is not an eToro fee — it is deducted from the fund’s NAV by the fund manager, invisibly reducing your unit price over time. VWCE carries a TER of 0.22%; IWDA 0.20%; FWRA 0.15%. These are fixed regardless of which broker you use. Small TER differences compound significantly over decades — see our UCITS vs US ETF total drag study for a full long-run cost breakdown.

eToro’s platform is USD-denominated at its core. Even EUR-account holders see portfolio valuations and statements expressed through a USD lens internally. This is not a direct fee, but it can create reconciliation noise when calculating your returns or tax position in EUR or GBP. Always export your transaction history and convert values at the applicable exchange rate for accurate year-end tax reporting in your country.
