So far as I can tell Interactive Brokers charges 0.20 basis point, ie 0.002%, with a minimum charge of $2. So a round trip from GBP to $10000 USD and then back to GBP costs about $4.40. Whereas 0.15% costs $30. Trades with Trading 212 are free, whereas on Interactive Brokers 40 FB (cost about $10k) would be around $0.35 to buy and $0.35 to sell, which is deductible against the monthly fee of $10 (or $20).
