Lower trading costs than other Hong Kong brokers

Trade25 offers $0 commission stock trading, with none of the hidden fees that many other brokers charge. Even if you make multiple trades within the month, all you pay is HKD25 as long as your monthly trading turnover does not exceed HKD250,000. However, please note other regulatory fees apply² as well.

Breaking it down

If you make 10 Hong Kong stock trades within the month, this would only cost HKD25 with Trade25.

At selected brokers which charge you a HKD15 platform fee per trade, it will cost at least HKD150 per month.

Can I join HSBC Trade25?

You can join HSBC Trade25 if you're aged 18 to 25 and would like to start a new investment journey. At HSBC Trade25, we're committed to help young millennials like you build your wealth and a healthy diversified portfolio. Check out our Trade25 Academy and get to know your way around stock trading.
How does a joint account work with HSBC Trade25?

If you join HSBC Trade25 with a joint investment account, both the principal and secondary account holders will enjoy zero brokerage fees for trading under HKD250,000 every month. All trades made will count towards the principal account holder's trading amount. When the monthly trading amount exceeds HKD250,000, all joint account holders will need to pay the standard brokerage fees for further trades.

For example, customer A has a sole investment account and joins HSBC Trade25 using a joint investment account. Customer B is the secondary account holder of the joint account. In this case, all trades made by either one of them holding the joint account will count towards the trading amount of customer A, as well as customer A's trades made under the sole account. Both of them won't need to pay any brokerage fees if the trading amount stays under HKD250,000. Once it reaches HKD250,000, both customers A and B will need to pay the standard brokerage fees for any further trades made under the joint account. Customer A will also need to pay the fees for further trades made under the sole account.
Can I join the HSBC Top Trader Club and HSBC Trade25 at the same time?

No, you can't join both the HSBC Top Trader Club and HSBC Trade25 at once. If you're currently in the HSBC Top Trader Club, you have to opt out of it first in order to join HSBC Trade25.
What happens when I turn 26?
