Last reviewed: March 2026
out of 10
BUX Zero is built specifically for the Dutch market and is a strong alternative to DEGIRO for investors who want a cleaner experience without sacrificing access to core UCITS ETFs. Fractional shares and auto-invest set it apart from DEGIRO for smaller monthly investors. Available in Germany and Austria too.
Right for you if…
- Dutch investors wanting a local alternative to DEGIRO with a better app
- Beginners who want fractional shares and auto-invest
- Monthly ETF investors in the Netherlands, Germany, or Austria
Not right if…
- Investors needing access to a wide range of global exchanges
- Those wanting interest on uninvested cash
- Advanced traders who need options or margin
Fee Breakdown
