Exchange-traded funds, baskets of securities that trade on a stock exchange the same way a single share does, are now available on Mintos with a minimum investment of €1. The Berlin-based platform announced July 21, 2026, that it is listing more than 1,000 ETFs at zero transaction fees, with custody fees also waived.
What Mintos is and what it is adding
Mintos describes itself as a European multi-asset investment platform built for long-term wealth building. Multi-asset, in plain terms, means investors hold several types of assets inside one account rather than juggling separate brokerages for each. The ETF launch adds more than 1,000 funds to that account, a selection Mintos says represents the most popular ETFs among European investors.
The fee structure in plain terms
Transaction fees are the per-trade charges a platform collects each time an investor buys or sells a fund. Custody fees are the ongoing charges just for holding those assets in an account. Mintos is waiving both. For anyone investing at the low end of what most fund products allow, those two cost layers can consume a large share of a small position before any market movement occurs. Eliminating both makes the €1 minimum meaningful rather than symbolic.
What the announcement does not cover
Mintos has not named the specific funds or providers included in the 1,000-plus catalog. The announcement gives no information on how the platform earns from this product. It also does not address what happens structurally when an investor buys in at €1 if the underlying fund unit trades at a higher price. What is confirmed: more than 1,000 ETFs, zero transaction fees, no custody fees, and a €1 entry point.
