However, crucially, all funds deposited to eToro are converted to US Dollars \u2013 when you hold any uninvested funds in your eToro account, they\u2019re held in dollars. That means at the point of investing funds to eToro you\u2019ll incur an FX fee of 0.75%. If you plan to invest in US stock, then it\u2019s probably no big deal. But if only you plan to invest in UK stocks, it\u2019s frustrating to have to pay any FX fee, and find yourself exposed to fluctuations in the value of the dollar.<\/p><p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> eToro<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<style>\n.gxfstquote td { vertical-align: middle; }\n.gxfstquote th, .gxfstquote td { padding-left: 0.75rem !important; padding-right: 0.75rem !important; border-right: 0px; }\n.gxfsttooltip { margin-top: -2px; }\n\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range] { -webkit-appearance: none; width: 100%; max-width: 500px; background: transparent; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb { -webkit-appearance: none; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]:focus { outline: none; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-ms-track { cursor: pointer; background: transparent; border-color: transparent; color: transparent; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb { -webkit-appearance: none; background-color: #1d53ff; color: #1d53ff; border: 6px solid #1d53ff; height: 2em; width: 2em; border-radius: 1em; background: #1d53ff; cursor: pointer; margin-top: -.75em; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-moz-range-thumb { -webkit-appearance: none; background-color: #1d53ff; color: #1d53ff; border: 6px solid #1d53ff; height: 2em; width: 2em; border-radius: 1em; background: #1d53ff; cursor: pointer; margin-top: -.75em; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-ms-thumb { -webkit-appearance: none; background-color: #1d53ff; color: #1d53ff; border: none; height: 2em; width: 2em; border-radius: 1em; background: #1d53ff; cursor: pointer; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-runnable-track { box-shadow: none; background-color: #d5d9dc; border-radius: .25em; height: .5em; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]:focus::-webkit-slider-runnable-track { box-shadow: none; background-color: #d5d9dc; border-radius: .25em; height: .5em; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-moz-range-track { box-shadow: none; background-color: #d5d9dc; border-radius: .25em; height: .5em; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-ms-track { box-shadow: none; background-color: #d5d9dc; border-radius: .25em; height: .5em; }\n.gxfstcontrols input[type=range]::-ms-fill-lower { background: none; }\ntable.gxfstquote, table.gxfstquote thead, table.gxfstquote tbody { display: flex; flex-direction: column; }\ntable.gxfstquote tr { display: flex; }\ntable.gxfstquote th, table.gxfstquote td { display: flex; align-items: center; flex-basis: 30%; }\ntable.gxfstquote th:last-child, table.gxfstquote td:last-child { flex-basis: 40%; }\ntable.gxfstquote tr:first-child td { border-top: 1px solid #d5d9dc !important; }\ntable.gxfstquote th { border-bottom: 0px !important; }\ntable.gxfstquote .gxfstsubdiv { display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-basis: 100%; }\ntable.gxfstquote .luna-stars { inline-size: fit-content; }\n@media (max-width: 600px) {\nth[data-mobile='hide'], td[data-mobile='hide'] { display: none !important; }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<h4 id=\"compare\" class=\"comparison\">Compare fees for buying shares on IG vs eToro<\/h4>\n\n<p>Find the cheapest way to buy Microsoft Corporation shares with our calculator which evaluates top UK trading platforms.
