(Winners are listed alphabetically)

Interactive Brokers

Outstanding Value Award – International Share Trading
Maintaining an Award this year, Interactive Brokers was found by Canstar Researchers to consistently deliver outstanding value through its highly competitive brokerage costs and some of the narrowest foreign exchange margins in the current market.
Established in 1977, Interactive Brokers provide direct-access trade execution and clearing services to investors, active traders and institutions. The platform offers investors access to a wide range of international stocks, as well as live updates and a versatile suite of research and trading tools.

Tiger Brokers

Outstanding Value Award – Tiger Trade
Tiger Brokers has retained its Award this year, which Canstar Researchers attributed to their competitive pricing. Tiger Brokers continues to offer competitive brokerage fees and FX margins.
Tiger Brokers started in 2014 and now claims to have 9 million users worldwide as a NASDAQ listed global company.

Webull

Outstanding Value Award – Webull
Webull achieved an Award for its high level of features offered as well as competitive brokerage costs. Canstar Researchers noted this combination makes Webull an accessible option to Australian investors, but also a good option for investors wanting to take it to the next level.
Launched in Australia in 2022, Webull is a trading platform that offers trading in US stocks, ETFs, options on American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and fractional shares.
