Fees and pricing
With Popular Trade you know the applicable fees before you start trading. We clearly state the initial deposit amount, the core fees, trading costs, and the deposit and withdrawal conditions, all in US dollars and with no hidden charges.
Choose the plan that best fits what you need and the features you will actually use. There is no monthly fee: the amount attached to each plan corresponds to the initial capital allocated to trading, not to a membership.

Core fees
The fixed costs of the service, in one table.
| Cost type | Fee / amount |
|---|---|
| Account opening | Free |
| Account maintenance | Free |

| Trading commission | Up to 0.58% per transaction |

The applicable commission is disclosed before you confirm each trade. The spread can vary depending on the asset, liquidity, volatility, and current market conditions.
Additional costs
Some costs do not depend on us but on third parties involved in each operation. This table shows which can apply and when.
| Additional cost | Description |
|---|---|
| Network fees | May apply on crypto-asset operations, charged by the relevant network infrastructure. |
| Payment provider fees | May be charged by deposit or withdrawal processors depending on the chosen method. |
| Currency conversion | May apply when the operation involves a currency other than the account denomination. |
| Asset or service specific costs | May apply depending on the selected asset or service, charged by brokers or partners. |
All applicable fees, if any, are displayed before you confirm the transaction. Popular Trade applies no hidden charges.
Deposits, withdrawals, timelines and limits
Deposits and withdrawals through the available methods are free of platform charges. Timelines depend on the method: PayPal withdrawals within 24 hours, Visa and Mastercard within 1 to 5 business days, ACH bank transfers 1 to 3 business days; deposits are instant on every method.
Minimum deposits per plan are $250 for Basic, $1,500 for Advanced, and $5,000 for Premium. The minimum withdrawal is $50 per request. Every withdrawal is subject to current identity verification and the security reviews described in the withdrawal policy.
The complete breakdown of methods, types, and processing times is on the deposit and withdrawal methods page.
Important notes
Trading commissions are calculated on each trade's amount, not on your deposit. The amounts on this page are in US dollars (USD), the currency in which accounts for Puerto Rico clients are denominated. Published costs may be updated; the current version is always this page, and changes are never applied retroactively to already-confirmed operations.
Trading carries the risk of loss: fees are certain costs, but investment results are not. No plan implies a promise of performance; the difference between plans is in features and service levels, not in expected returns. Before choosing, review the risk disclosure and go over any questions with your personal manager.
