Access · routes

Three ways to reach a US share price from Netherlands

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.
