Beginning March 1, Capital One ShareBuilder customers will pay just $6.95 in base commission for real-time stock and exchange-traded fund ("ETF") trades, and $6.95 plus $0.75 per contract for options trades. This is a reduction from the previous $9.95 standard base commission, and $7.95 Advantage Program base commission price, which was available by subscription for $12 per month. Advantage Program real-time pricing is eliminated, and real-time trades are now as low as $6.95 for all customers.
"At Capital One ShareBuilder, simplifying the investing experience is at the core of everything we do," said Dan Greenshields, President of Capital One ShareBuilder. "This new flat pricing program makes commissions easier to understand, while expanding access to great value for more investors - regardless of account size or trading activity level."
