Why flat fees?
With brokerage fees, other platforms charge a percentage of your investments. We believe percentage based fees penalise you for growing your money over time. That’s your profit, not ours.
With Hatch you pay a $3 USD flat fee each time you buy less than 300 shares. If those shares increase in value over time, you’ll still just pay $3 USD when you sell them. Buying or selling over 300 shares at once is only 1c extra per share.
Note: These are examples of the fees per individual buy or sell order. It’s also not guaranteed that shares will increase in value. Read more about our fees.

Popular questions about pricing
There's no such thing as free lunch. Learn why we're sticking with transparent fees and why price shouldn't be the only consideration when trusting your money to an investing platform.
Because we believe in giving Kiwis a fair go. It may be attractive to pay a percentage fee when buying smaller amounts, but the goal is for those shares to increase in value. We don't believe we should take a cut of your profits when you sell your shares.
With a Hatch account, you pay just $3 USD to buy up to 300 shares. If those 300 shares increase in value, you'll still just pay $3 USD to sell them (see an example here).
For Kids Accounts, we’ve lowered our usual $3 USD minimum brokerage fee to an absurdly small 50c USD on Kids Accounts. As long as you’re buying or selling 50 or fewer shares, you’ll only pay a 50c USD fee (for order over 50 shares, the usual 1c USD a share fee kicks in). Learn more about Hatch Kids Accounts and fees.
We know a lot of new investors want to start small, which is why we have no minimum deposits. You can set up a regular payment into Hatch and that money will sit in a Money Market Fund, earning you dividends, until you're ready to invest it.
When we receive your deposit of $50k or more, we'll get in touch to confirm the exchange rate. If your cumulative deposit total (current deposit included) is over $100k, your deposit will be eligible to receive a discount on the exchange fees. Contact us to find out more.

You’ll pay a 0.5% exchange fee when you withdraw money.
