Internaxx Review 2018

Former TD Direct Investing, Internaxx is a Luxembourg-based brokerage company. It has a banking license but is not listed on any stock exchanges. It's regulated by CFFS, the Luxembourgish regulator. The company specialized in serving expatriates and international investors.

As a plus

Internaxx offers an easy to use, nice looking trading platform, suitable for anyone interested in stocks and funds. Research is delivered by Morningstar, a professional research firm. Furthermore, you can trade with almost all asset classes.

On the flip side

Internaxx charges high trading fees. It has a mobile app, but it doesn’t work at all. The only way to transfer money is bank transfer.

Recommended for beginners and buy and hold investors.

Internaxx review
Account opening

You can open an account without a required minimum amount. However, you need to post the documents to Interaxx for completing the application.

You can choose from the following 9 account base currencies: EUR, USD, CAD, GBP, SEK, CHF, AUD, HKD, SGD.

There are two types of account:

• multi-currency account
• derivatives account

At multi-currency account, you can trade with stocks, ETFs and investment funds. Derivatives accounts give you access to forex, CFD, future, and options products. Note that derivatives accounts are available through Saxo Bank's platform. If you want to trade with Forex, you will direct to Saxo's platform.

First, you give all important personal information, you will fill a form about your investment experience and trading preferences. At the end of the process, you will post notarized copies of ID documents to Internaxx. It makes the account opening process much slower and complicated.

Product portfolio

At Internaxx you can trade with almost all asset classes.

Available asset classes at Internaxx:

• Equities
• ETFs
• Funds

For forex, option, future and CFD trading you need to open a second, derivatives account. For this account, you need to use Saxo Bank's trading platform. You can read about Saxo Bank's platform in our Saxo Bank review.

Internaxx review
Fee structure

Intrnaxx's trading fees are high if you trade at low volume. However, the fee structure is transparent.

Internaxx fees have another weak point, which is the inactivity fee. If you don't trade for 3 months at all, you will be charged by a quarterly €45. For less than 12 trades per 3 months, a quarterly inactivity fee of €25 is charged. 

Internaxx review
Web trading platform

You will easily navigate yourself through Internaxx's well-designed platform. However, the platform lacks many technical tools, so it won't be suitable for traders.

You can use two trading platforms through Internaxx. If you open a multi-currency account, you will use the company's own platform. With derivatives account you will trade at Saxo Bank's trading platform. In our Internaxx review, we tested its own trading platform. If you want to check Saxo Bank's trading platform, visit our Saxo Bank review.

Testing Internaxx's platform was a great experience. It has a well-designed and easily manageable trading platform. You can't customize the platform, but the default workplace is very understandable and logical. You can search for stocks, ETFs, and funds separately.

The biggest disadvantage of the trading platform is the limited number of order types.

Research

Internaxx provides Morningstar's research that is well-detailed and has a good-quality. You will easily navigate yourself through the research page. On the flip side, research materials are available only for stocks.

Third-party research providers usually charge a fee for their services, but at Internaxx Morningstar's research is free of charge.

Customer service

You can contact Intrenaxx through telephone or e-mail. Live chat is not available. The support team is very kind, but sometimes gives irrelevant or incorrect answers. The speed is a weak point as well.
