What happens to my investments when I close my DEGIRO account?

You must sell all your investments before closing your DEGIRO account. DEGIRO currently doesn't support outgoing in-specie transfers in most markets, so you'll need to sell your holdings first.

Are there fees for closing a DEGIRO account?

DEGIRO doesn't charge an account closure fee. Standard trading fees apply when selling your holdings. There's also a €2.50 annual connectivity fee per exchange, charged in October.

How long does it take to close a DEGIRO account?

Once you sell all holdings and withdraw funds, account closure is usually processed within 1–5 business days. Withdrawals are typically credited to your bank within 1–3 business days.

Tips mod fastholdelse

Before closing your DEGIRO account, consider that it's one of Europe's most affordable brokers with no custody fees and very low trading commissions. If you're pausing your investments, you can simply keep the account dormant — there's no monthly fee. You only pay when you trade. Would you prefer to keep your account open for when you're ready to invest again?
