Compare brokers available to Australian residents
Australian broker choice splits between firms that deal in listed securities and firms whose local business is OTC derivatives. Putting them in one alphabetical view is useful only if the product column stays honest about which is which.
Interactive Brokers Australia is the multi-market securities name in the confirmed set. Pepperstone and CMC are confirmed as local CFD businesses. Saxo, IG and eToro are confirmed as available with the local entity still marked Not confirmed where we will not guess the AFSL holder. CHESS sponsorship is not assumed for any of them. FX conversion on international shares is Not confirmed as a figure.
Fee, FX and minimum-deposit sorts stay off until those figures are sourced. Capability filters for options, futures, fractional shares and similar fields stay off for the same reason. Nothing here is ordered as best.
