| Comment by Reviewer | |
| "After exploring the platform, I think that DIF Broker's unique focus on innovation, technology and customer support will suit both casual and high-volume investors. That said, I think the broker's competitive fees will be particularly advantageous for dedicated stock traders." | "Degiro is perfect for low-cost stock trading on US, UK and European markets with a straightforward platform and app. Casual investors will appreciate that there are no inactivity fees while long-term traders will rate the wide selection of ETFs." |

| DIF Broker offers an impressive total of 30,000+ CFD instruments, which is far more than many brokers I review. That said, I think it's a shame that there's no additional tools or resources on offer for CFD traders. | CFD trading not offered |

| I was particularly impressed to see a huge range of 180 major, minor and exotic currency pairs at DIF Broker. I was able to access sensible leverage up to 1:30 and no commission fees. Average spreads are OK but not the most competitive, coming in at around 1 pip for EUR/USD and 1.1 pip on GBP/USD. | Forex trading not offered |
