Lightyear I think might be worth an even more upgraded grade. I just saw on IBKR that it's now possible to transfer stocks from Lightyear to IBKR (and of course the other way around as well).
Hi Marko, because I do not want to hold EUR, I prefer investing in USD long-term as I feel it will be the stronger currency, but just my personal opinion 😉 Cheers
Thank you so much Ward, means a lot and glad to hear the positive impact my videos have and as always I only recommend things I use myself. Cheers and sunny regards from Dubai☀️ Tomorrow will do another update video on my apartment here👌
Hi Kai, I really enjoyed your video on the best investing apps for Europeans in 2024. I'm a beginner investor myself, and I found your recommendations to be very helpful. I'm particularly interested in trading 212, as I like the idea of being able to start investing with as little as €1. I also appreciate that you mentioned the importance of diversifying your investments, and I'll definitely be checking out the app you recommended for tracking my investments across multiple brokers. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Hi👋 Super thrilled to hear you found the video on investing apps helpful! 🚀 Trading 212's low entry point is fantastic for getting your feet wet in investing without a big upfront commitment. Smart move! Diversification is key, so I'm glad that resonated with you. Remember, it's all about playing the long game and making informed choices. Keep exploring and let me know how it goes with the investment tracking app. Cheers, Kai
Hi. Thank you for the video! I have the noob question, are there any problems with ETFs if I move between EU countries? What if I bought ETFs from Poland, using a Polish residence permit, and then go to Spain and expand my portfolio there, and then want to withdraw money in Spain, having a Spanish residence permit?
Hi 👋 Great question! Moving between EU countries with ETFs is generally straightforward, but here are a few points to consider: Broker Compatibility: Ensure your broker operates in both Poland and Spain. Some brokers might have restrictions or different services in various countries. Tax Implications: Each country has its own tax laws. When you move to Spain, you'll be subject to Spanish tax regulations on your investments, which might differ from Poland's. Currency Considerations: If your ETFs are in a different currency, be mindful of exchange rates and potential fees when you withdraw money. Residency Status: Make sure to update your residency status with your broker to comply with local regulations and ensure smooth transactions. It's usually manageable, but always good to check with your broker and possibly consult a tax advisor to understand specific implications. Cheers.
Hi, I would suggest you Trading 212, they work in Macedonia and it's commission free. You can get a free share up to €100 with my link smartmoneywithkai.com/trading212 Cheers
Hi Carlos, I can't tell you the exact spread, but in my case & experience, it's always been very tight and quite close to IBKR, maybe if you trade €20K per trade you would see a bit but for most investors it's negligible. More important is the asset you invest in, if it has high liquidity & trading volume, T212 is going to be a great choice.
I'm student in Germany but I'm really interested in this :). I'm from Colombia. As a beginner, which option would you recommend me? I just want to start investing small amounts of money. First i thought going with TR because is based in Germany because of taxes maybe would be better but 1e per transaction would be too much if i just want to start with 10e , isn't it?
Hi and fully agreed, too expensive in your case then. I would recommend you to use Trading 212 to have commission free trading on stocks & ETF's while getting 4.2% interest on your EUR 👌
The problem is that what you say about Revolut’s protection level applies to the other brokers you mentioned too. All brokers you mention offer the same 20.000-22.000€ investment protection to EU clients. So, why pick specifically Revolut for this reason?
Hi 👋, Well noted 👌 You’re right; the investment protection of around 20,000-22,000€ is pretty standard across many brokers in the EU. When deciding on a broker, this level of protection might not be the sole factor to consider since it’s a common offering. Choosing a broker like Revolut or any other should come down to other features they might offer such as user experience, fees, accessibility, types of investments available, and additional services. For me the biggest red flag with Revolut as a broker is the fact that they don't allow portfolio transfers to other brokers, this is too restrictive. But ultimately there is no right or wrong it has to work for each investor. Cheers
Hi, started watching your videos, very useful. Could you make a video where you could show how to transfer stocks from trading212 to ibkr for example? Cannot find this option. Thnks
Great question! 💥 When you buy stocks in different currencies, like $ vs €, the main difference is currency risk. If you're buying V on the Deutsche Borse in €, keep an eye on exchange rates as they can affect your investment value. Personally I prefer buying stocks on their native stock exchange to also diversify my currency holdings, but if you prefer to buy in € you absolutely can👌
Hi mate👋 In this case go with Trading 212 or Lightyear, both are perfect choices for beginners and allow commissions free ETF buys which would be your best bet to get started 👌 Cheers
Hey Kai, I am a new member of your channel and I like your videos so far. Can you please make the same videos for Cryptocurrency? I use Revolut and Binance for this, but the commission fee and lack of variety are the things that bother me about Revolut, but the interface is easy for trading. Binance has a complicated interface and it is difficult to deposit and withdraw funds. Do you have any recommendation for Cryptocurrency Exchange in EU?
Hey there, welcome to the fam! 🚀 Thrilled you're digging the content! Diving into the crypto universe can be a wild ride, and I'm with you on the ups and downs of platforms like Revolut and Binance. Revolut's simplicity is a win, but it does come with its limitations, right? And Binance, while packed with features, can feel like navigating a maze! 🌌 For trading in the EU, you might want to check out Nexo which is my exchange of choice & very user-friendly as well as robust security and variety. Haven't planned such a review video yet as I am not signed up to all those others, but something to keep in mind for the future 👌 Cheers
Hi 👋 Trading 212 has age restrictions because of legal reasons. You need to be at least 18 to open an account and invest. But don’t worry-this is the perfect time to start learning! Use this time to build your knowledge on investing, markets, and personal finance. When you’re old enough, you’ll be way ahead of the game.
Hi, was talking about stock brokers. For crypto Coinbase could be an option though I personally use Nexo and then move my coins to my Ledger Hardware wallet 👌
Hi, to be honest same as I mention all work in Latvia. Interactive Brokers, Trading 212 & Lightyear would all be great choices for you 👌 BTW, Riga is a lovely city, been there many times 🙌
Light year is an awful recommendation. Not safe, not top best at any aspect. The only thing going for it is the design but that’s the least you should care about as an investor.
Hi Carolina, in what way is it not safe, I’m interested to hear? I keep my own money there since a long time and never had issue. Safety is priority. Nice design is a bonus.
@@ivocoelho8694 I didn’t get notifications for this thread. Perhaps you should take up investigating in your own hands instead of expecting other people to spoon feed you information. But it basically has to do with legality and hidden fees. I researched light year a while back and it didn’t measure up to the top brokers in terms of safety and fees.

As I'm switching brokers at the moment, this video is perfect for me. Thanks, Kai! 💪
That's awesome to hear 🙌 Cheers
so what have you selected?
Amazing video as always mate! I personally use of the ones you just mentioned so following this video, I think i’m on the good path! Keep it up🙌🏼
Thank you so much Luka and well done, good choice 😉👌 Cheers
Lightyear I think might be worth an even more upgraded grade. I just saw on IBKR that it's now possible to transfer stocks from Lightyear to IBKR (and of course the other way around as well).
Hi and absolutely, that's indeed a fantastic feature 👌 Been using and loving them for a long-time now, great broker 💯 Cheers
Love these types of videos everytime I see them
Awww, that's awesome 🙏 Cheers mate
Thank you for such a detailed approach, very useful!
My pleasure Alina, super happy to hear you found it useful 🙏 Cheers
Why don't you buy APC instead of AAPL (It is Apple stock but on German exchange, no fx fees, I did this, no fx risk)
Hi Marko, because I do not want to hold EUR, I prefer investing in USD long-term as I feel it will be the stronger currency, but just my personal opinion 😉 Cheers
Great video. Loving the content. Keep on going!
Thanks a lot Andrius, much appreciated 🙏
amazing content! thanks for always keeping it simple
Much appreciated Vitor 🙏

Can you suggest me on what platform to invest because i come from 🇲🇰(the balkans), europe?
Hi, I would suggest you Trading 212, they work in Macedonia and it's commission free. You can get a free share up to €100 with my link smartmoneywithkai.com/trading212 Cheers
I'm thinking about Trading 212 but I'm afraid of the spread. Does anyone know if it's high?
Or at least higher than Trade Republic?
Hi Carlos, I can't tell you the exact spread, but in my case & experience, it's always been very tight and quite close to IBKR, maybe if you trade €20K per trade you would see a bit but for most investors it's negligible. More important is the asset you invest in, if it has high liquidity & trading volume, T212 is going to be a great choice.
Well I hope you get the share, because I used your link for the $100 share.
Hi and thanks a lot, I will get the same value as you do, so fingers crossed for both of us 😉

you mentioned 35c per trade. When you do DCA with IBKR what pricing mode you use, tired or fixed?
Hi James👋 Tiered for sure, much cheaper👌 Cheers
Hi Kai. Curious if there is any info if trade republic plans to come to the UK?
Hi 👋 Good question, haven't heard anything about that, just had a look online and couldn't find anything on that. Hopefully soon 🤞 Cheers

The apps that you suggested is investing or Trading? I am fedup with CFD Trading.

What about scalable capital? I found since this year it’s not possible to send money to SC
Hi, sadly not available in my country so I can't try it out.
Hello, I'm new to your channel. Why funds are not safe in Revolut??
Hi and welcome👋 I made a video on this a while ago, you can check it here ruclips.net/video/VUMSShQPsYw/видео.html Cheers
Tells also for foreigners those who living and working in Europe which app they can used,😔😞
Interactive Brokers & Trading 212 for sure, they support most countries out of all. Cheers

Hey, I signed up to trading 212 through your link, but I do not see the free shares. How do I get those? Thank you for the excellent video though!
Awesome, thanks. You need to verify your identify and fund your account with some money, then it should happen👌 Cheers
@@SmartMoneywithKai Worked in the end, it just took them a day or two! Thanks a lot
Great to hear that 👌
Which one should I try like for the first time for the total start in investing ?
Hi mate👋 In this case go with Trading 212 or Lightyear, both are perfect choices for beginners and allow commissions free ETF buys which would be your best bet to get started 👌 Cheers
@@SmartMoneywithKai Thank you so much

Hi Joao, never used them before but will check it out and if I end up using them include in future videos👌 Cheers

Lightyear isn’t available In Sweden 😢
That's a shame. In this case I would recommend you Trading 212 👌
What about coinbase ?
Hi, was talking about stock brokers. For crypto Coinbase could be an option though I personally use Nexo and then move my coins to my Ledger Hardware wallet 👌
Can you suggest an app for latvia

hello kai
have Trade Republic Web interface ?
Hi and yes, they do 👌
Hello. I make new account trade republic. What is it nrn/rrn ?
Hi and nice one. Not sure what you mean by nrn?
Thanks. 👏🙏. Which one has Forex transactions??
Hi İlker 👋 Do you mean FOREX fees? Or allows multi-currency accounts? Cheers
@@SmartMoneywithKaiWhich is the best one to trade forex. And what are the leverage ratios.
I see, sorry mate, I would not be the best to comment on that as I don't trade FX. Cheers
can u do puts and calls on these apps
On some of them yes, definitely with Interactive Brokers you can trade options 👌 Though personally I don't. Cheers
What app have the most of the stocks
That would have to be IBKR.
Hi, trading 121 are saying they will allow share transfer from 2019, do you have something concrete about them doing it next month?
Hi👋 Yes, from 15 Feb they will allow us to transfer our portfolios, really awesome new feature👌 Cheers
Bit Panda any good?
Hi 👋 Not bad from what I hear but I am not using them so can't really comment. Cheers
Will it work in Poland
Yes, as far as I am aware all of them do 👌
Trade 212 pending order not canceled
Hi. If you go into the position to orders you can swipe to cancel. That should do the trick 👌
@@SmartMoneywithKaiwhen I buy order with revolut account it's good have option any time cancel order

One more question ❓ sir please you can share one video when you buy stock with trade212 and trade lightsyear one video for knowledg
@@Europe0008 Agreed and the protection level is not that good. Try Trading 212, even easier, better protection and no fees👌
