E*TRADE to lower trade commission rate to $6.95 from $9.99 for all customers, along with a new tier of $4.95 per trade and $0.50 per options contract for active traders (30+ trades per quarter)

E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:ETFC) announced today a significant reduction to its trade commissions to $6.95, down from $9.99. Further, the Company is introducing an active trading program and pricing tier for its most engaged customers who execute 30+ trades per quarter (down from a previous active trading tier of 150+ trades per quarter). In this new customer tier commissions for trades will be $4.95, and options charges will be $0.50 per options contract, down from $0.75. The new program is designed specifically with E*TRADE’s active equity and derivative traders in mind. The new commissions are scheduled to become effective March 13, 2017.

“We have built a best-in-class offering that includes powerful digital tools, online advice and professional financial consultants to serve the needs of traders and investors,” said Karl Roessner, Chief Executive Officer. “While we know that an exceptional customer experience is far more important to traders and investors than price, with our new commission structure we are able to reward our most active equity and derivative traders and investors, while at the same time providing exceptional value to all who call E*TRADE home.”

E*TRADE aims to enhance the financial independence of traders and investors through a powerful digital offering and professional guidance. To learn more about E*TRADE’s trading and investing platforms and tools, visit etrade.com.
