Three ways to reach a US share price from Croatia

Two routes buy the share. The third buys exposure to its price and nothing else.

01.

Domestic broker with a US partner

Your local broker routes the order to a partner in the United States. You hold real shares with voting and dividend rights, under full identity verification.

Real shares 4 routes

02.

International broker account

You open the account offshore yourself and remit under your country’s rules. Ownership is the same, and the reporting duties sit with you.

Real shares Capital limit applies

03.

Perpetual exposure on Canborsa

A US-equity perpetual tracks the share price and settles in crypto: no broker, no remittance, no share, no votes and no dividends. Funding is charged or paid every 1h while the position is open, and deposits arrive as USDC on six networks.
