Profiles

What is the difference between an Active and Trader Account?

Answer

Basic account holders who wish to trade using margin from DEGIRO, short sell securities, or trade derivatives, can upgrade to an Active or a Trader account. Upgrading your account is free.

An Active profile provides all the services of a Basic profile with the addition of the Debit Money (the ability to trade using margin from DEGIRO), Debit Securities (short selling) and Derivatives services. Under this profile, use of Debit Money is more limited as a conservative approach to porfolio risk is taken.

A Trader profile provides all the services of a Basic profile with the addition of the Debit Money (the ability to trade using margin from DEGIRO), Debit Securities (short selling) and Derivatives services. Under this profile, you have access to more margin, as a less conservative portfolio risk approach is taken.

Please see the document Security Value, Risk, Debit Money and Debit Securities for further information.

DEGIRO is the first wholesale broker for private investors. An online investment platform for all types of investors. DEGIRO enables its customers to invest worldwide at unprecedented low rates. DEGIRO is investing globally for everyone. Previously, investing was often limited to stock exchanges in Europe or the United States. Through one platform, all DEGIRO investors gain access to products and markets worldwide. This means that private investors can spread their investments much better. DEGIRO fits perfectly with the investor who manages his business online. For us, customers do not pay for the salary of unnecessary staff. DEGIRO takes away the last difference between professional and private investors; the fees. Essential for the return of private investors.
