About Trade for Good

We’re an online trading platform that believes doing good is more important than just making a profit.

That’s why we donate 50%* of the brokerage on all trades to one of our charitable partners.
And the best part, is you choose where the good goes!

Trade for Good works as a meeting point between you (the client) and our partner charities.

We have a combined 50+ years of experience in helping people trade on the Australian Stock Market.

We are now applying our professional skills and experience to help people trade online. We use world-class technology and software to ensure that it is secure and easy for you – from signing up for an account to making a trade, with the goal that is it doing some good for the charity of your choice.

The benefit of trading with us is that we are committing half our standard brokerage fee on every trade to a charity that you choose.

How we share

We charge you a lower rate of brokerage than the market-leading online brokers but instead of pocketing 100% of the fee we ask you to nominate a charity of choice from one of our list of partner charities and we will donate 50%* of that fee to them on your behalf.

Discover more information on How it works with sharing.

* 50% of the fee will be donated after ASX and Settlement costs, see our financial services guide for more information.
Note: This may be a tax-deductible, charitable donation depending on your personal circumstances.

Trade for Good offers a suite of ways you can participate, from the retail, and financial adviser to institutional trading level. We scale this offering by using the latest technology in client onboarding, trading software order execution, and our back-office products.

  • Question: Why should I switch to Trade for Good ?

    Answer: Trade for Good wants to make this model of giving to charities sustainable, there are lots of great charities that are doing awesome work that we want help. We have decided to help those charities rather than being the cheapest on the street, as race to bottom pricing business model is not very sustainable.
