ETFPanda verdict
Still an excellent manual-investing broker with rare breadth of European exchanges. The missing savings-plan feature is the one real gap for long-term ETF savers.
Best for: Self-directed investors who buy whole shares on their local exchange and don't need automation.
Ratings are ETFPanda's editorial opinion and never for sale. Nothing on this page is investment advice; features, fees and investor protections vary by country of residence. Capital at risk.
