Of the 9 stock brokers & investing apps on this list, 5 serve Sweden from a CySEC licence in Cyprus (eToro, Trading 212, Admirals and 2 more), 1 serves Sweden from a CBI licence in Ireland (Interactive Brokers), 1 holds a licence from the Finansinspektionen (Nordnet) and 1 serves Sweden from a Finantsinspektsioon licence in Estonia (Lightyear); 1 more is licensed by BaFin.

Currency conversion, which you pay on every US share bought from a non-dollar account, costs from 0.25% (DEGIRO) to 0.35% (Lightyear). Nordnet charges €3 per order for Helsinki shares (Nordnet Finland) and DEGIRO charges €2 per order for US stocks.

• Search the company name on the Finansinspektionen register (fi.se); for a firm licensed elsewhere, on its home regulator's register too (CySEC, CBI and Finantsinspektsioon for most of this list).
• Check which company your contract is with. eToro, for example, onboards residents of Sweden through eToro (Europe) Ltd (CySEC licence 109/10), and the name on the account-opening documents should match the list.

Yes, with a licensed provider. Brokers need MiFID II authorisation from an EEA regulator; firms authorised elsewhere in the EEA may serve residents under the European passport.

By Coinish Score, eToro (71/100, Editor Rating 3.6/5), through eToro (Europe) Ltd (CySEC licence 109/10). Interactive Brokers (71) and Trading 212 (66) follow. The score rates the company that would serve you in Sweden, so the same brand can rank differently in another country.

Brokers have to keep your assets apart from their own, so in a bankruptcy your shares should come back to you. If they can't be returned, Riksgälden's investor protection pays up to SEK 250,000.

Nordnet is the only stock broker here licensed by Finansinspektionen. The other 8 are licensed in other EU countries, so their home country's scheme covers you instead.

Yes. A firm authorised under MiFID II in one EEA country can serve residents of the others once its home regulator has notified them. 8 of the 9 on this list reach Sweden that way, most from Cyprus (5), Ireland (1) and Estonia (1).

The home regulator supervises the firm and its compensation scheme applies, while Finansinspektionen can still set conduct rules for clients in Sweden.

If a broker fails, the compensation scheme of the regulator that licenses it applies, not one chosen by where you live. For this list: Investerarskyddet (Riksgälden): up to SEK 250,000 per investor for clients of Finansinspektionen-licensed investment firms (1 on this list); Investor Compensation Fund (Cyprus): 90% of covered claims, up to €20,000 for clients of CySEC-licensed investment firms (5 on this list); Investor Compensation Company (ICCL): 90% of the loss, up to €20,000 per investor for clients of CBI-licensed investment firms (1 on this list); Entschädigungseinrichtung der Wertpapierhandelsunternehmen (EdW): 90% of the claim, up to €20,000 per investor for clients of BaFin-licensed investment firms (1 on this list). Compensation covers missing client money and assets after a firm's failure, never trading losses.

In an investeringssparkonto (ISK) you pay no tax on your gains. Skatteverket charges a yearly tax on what the account holds instead, whether you made money or not. For 2026 that's 1.065% of the amount over SEK 300,000, so the first SEK 300,000 is tax-free.

Coinish isn't a tax adviser: check your own situation with the tax authority or an accountant.
