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.

This is what makes Hatch different.

Popular questions about pricing

Can I invest small amounts?

Yes, you can invest as little as $1 USD on Hatch. Hatch Auto-invest has scaling brokerage fees for orders up to $300 USD – fees are capped at 1% of your order value.

Depositing over $50k?

If your cumulative deposit total (current deposit included) is over $100k, deposits over $50k will automatically receive a discount on the exchange fees.

Already have USD?

What about withdrawals?

You can choose to withdraw your USD to your NZ bank account whenever you want. You just have to sell your shares so your USD is available to withdraw.

We collect a bank statement for each account you want to withdraw money to. This is a security check to make sure your money is going back to you.

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

How much tax do I pay on investments?

If you have less than $50,000 invested overseas, you might not even need to pay tax on your Hatch shares. If you've received less than $200 NZD (before tax) of income (e.g. less than $200 of dividends from your Hatch shares), you generally don't even need to file a return. If you do, it's a simple online form.

Hatch takes care of US tax obligations for most investors who aren't US tax residents.
