Best Brokers in Belgium 2025 [023]

What are the best brokers for investors in Belgium?

Which ones are the cheapest?

Which ones are the safest?

Which ones handle all Belgian taxes?

Which ones are the easiest to use?

In this episode, we analyse and compare the 12 main brokers used by investors in Belgium, so that you can pick the best one.

We cover the following brokers: Bolero, Degiro, Keytrade, Saxo, Re=Bel, Mexem, MeDirect, ING Self Invest, Lynx, Trade Republic, Bux and Interactive Brokers.

Over the past 13 years investing in the stock market, I’ve changed brokers several times. And because I have a portfolio of index funds of over 1 million euros, it’s important for me to pick the best one.

I have also helped thousands of investors (from very beginners to advanced) select their brokers. To do so, I’ve developed a comprehensive research and comparison framework, which we explain in this episode. For this 2025 version, Toon and I have spent 3 months reviewing all brokers information, emailing them and calling them to fill the gaps.

It’s a ton of work. Huge thanks to Toon for doing the heavy lifting for this 2025 update.

The FIRE Belgium Broker Comparison Table used to be for the participants of the Index Investing Online Course only, but I’m making it available for free so that everyone can benefit from the research. I also hope this will help brokers improve their services over time.
