Simple, transparent pricing
Getting started with VrenKapstead investment platform is free. There are no hidden fees for opening an account — you only ever put in what you choose to invest, and every figure is visible on your dashboard as it moves.
What the numbers look like in practice
A first deposit, step by step
A first deposit is the whole cost picture in one place: the amount you send, the spread applied on conversion, and nothing else until you decide to trade. There's no account fee waiting at month-end and no charge for leaving your balance where it is.
What happens the same day
The balance appears once payment clears, and a specialist walks through the plan before anything is opened. Nothing is placed automatically on your behalf.
Withdrawals and what they cost
Withdrawals return to the payment method the money arrived from — a requirement, not a preference, and it's how the account stays yours. Processing is free from our side; the only deduction you might see is one your own bank or card issuer applies.
Timing you can plan around
Requests made on a working day are reviewed the same day. Card returns usually settle within three to five working days, bank transfers within two.
What's included
- Free account setup — no registration or licence fees.
