We are pleased to announce that Moneybase is upgrading its free U.S. trade allowance. Earlier this year, we reduced trading fees on U.S. exchanges across the board. We are now building on that with a bigger free trade allowance: every user on the platform will receive 2 free trades per month, each up to $2,000 in value. The previous allowance was 1 free trade per month up to $1,000. Together, these changes offer investors a lower-cost and lower-risk entry point into the U.S. market.
What is changing
| Detail | Previous allowance | New allowance |
| Free trades per month | 1 trade | 2 trades |
| Value cap per free trade | $1,000 | $2,000 per trade |
| Subsequent trades | From $0.25 | From $0.25 |
| Max free value per month | $1,000 | $4,000 |
How to use the monthly free trades
Free trades are applied automatically to your first two eligible U.S. trades each calendar month. No code or change of settings is needed.
If a single trade exceeds $2,000 in value, the full trade is charged at the standard rate and does not count as one of your free trades for the month.
Your free trade allowance resets at the start of each calendar month.
