Conditions
- Accounts are opened free; the no-subscription statement is on Invest Direct's help centre, while the brokerage rates are on the pricing page.
- The pricing page renders one tab at a time: the New Zealand rates open by default, the US and UK rates and the 0.25% custodial fee are on the US and UK shares tab, and the FX margin is on the Other services tab.
- Invest Direct states the FX margin as a maximum of 1.50%. On 18 September 2026 it stated that the margin then applied was 0.89%; the provider can change the applied margin without notice, so this row carries the 1.50% cap and records 0.89% as a dated observation on that day, not as a figure that ages with the row.
- Australian online trades are AU$29.00 per trade up to AU$30,000 of trade value, plus 0.30% for the portion exceeding AU$30,000.
- The 0.25% p.a. custody fee applies to US and UK holdings only, and is not charged on NZ or Australian shares or bonds.
- The platform redirects from jardendirect.co.nz and is now owned and operated by Hatch Invest NZ Limited.
