(Winners are listed alphabetically)

Interactive Brokers

Outstanding Value Award – International Share Trading
Interactive Brokers has retained its 5-Star Rating this year, earning its 8th consecutive win for Canstar’s International Share Trading Platform Award. The platform continues to deliver outstanding value to consumers through its highly competitive brokerage costs and some of the narrowest foreign exchange margins in the current market.

Saxo Capital Markets

Outstanding Value Award – SaxoInvestor
Outstanding Value Award – SaxoTraderGO/PRO
A new Award winner this year, Saxo Capital Markets secured two 5-Star Ratings for its SaxoInvestor and SaxoTraderGO/PRO platforms. Both platforms offer competitive rates and outstanding value across both pricing and features. The Canstar Research team noted that Saxo Capital Markets offered some of the narrowest foreign exchange margins in the current market. While SaxoInvestor is designed for more casual investors, its SaxoTraderGO/PRO platform offers slightly more advanced and sophisticated features such as available markets, and charting tools.

Webull Securities

Outstanding Value Award – Webull
Retaining its 5-Star Rating for another consecutive year, Webull continues to offer competitive brokerage, with an FX margin of 0.5% alongside a high level of features such as real-time market data, and a number of advanced research tools, including analyst reports and charting. This combination puts Webull in a strong position to deliver outstanding value to a wide range of investors.
