Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between stock CFDs and buying real shares?

Real share trading gives you ownership and dividend rights. Stock CFDs let you trade price movements with leverage but you don't own the underlying share. CFDs are better for short-term speculation; real shares suit long-term investing.

Are dividends paid on stock CFDs?

With CFDs, brokers typically apply a dividend adjustment to your account rather than paying the actual dividend. Long positions receive a credit; short positions receive a debit.

Which stock markets can I access through these brokers?

Most brokers in this ranking offer access to major exchanges including NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, and Euronext. Check each broker's market page for the full list of supported exchanges.

What is the minimum deposit to trade stocks in Malta?

16 brokers on this list accept traders from Malta with no minimum deposit ($0). The lowest non-zero minimum deposit among brokers available in Malta is $1. For better risk management and position sizing, most experts recommend starting with at least $100–$200 regardless of the broker's minimum.

Which is the top-rated broker in this list for 2026?
