About CommSec

CommSec was founded in 1995 as the online brokerage division of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney and is Australia's largest and most well-known online broker. As an ASIC-regulated provider, CommSec benefits from seamless integration with the Commonwealth Bank, Australia's leading financial institution. The product range includes stocks, ETFs, options, warrants, and managed funds. Trading fees start from AUD 10 for trades up to AUD 1,000 and increase to AUD 19.95 for trades up to AUD 10,000. CommSec also offers ASX options trading, which distinguishes it from many Australian competitors. CommSec is particularly suitable for Australian investors who already have a Commonwealth Bank account and value the seamless integration between banking and investing. The comprehensive research and analysis tools make CommSec attractive for more demanding traders as well, although fees are higher than neobrokers like Stake.
