DEGIRO
Low-cost European broker — cheap commissions but watch the FX fee
$25 more per $10,000 than Interactive Brokers (FX cost only)

Verdict
DEGIRO is one of the best options for European investors wanting access to global markets. Its FX fee of €2.50 + 0.25% is competitive, and its commissions are low. Now owned by flatexDEGIRO, it's well-regulated under BaFin. The main limitation: no ISA for UK investors (Trading 212 or InvestEngine is better for that).

Frequently asked questions
Is DEGIRO available in the UK after Brexit?
Yes. DEGIRO has a UK entity regulated by the FCA. UK investors can use DEGIRO, but there is no Stocks & Shares ISA wrapper — for tax-sheltered investing, Trading 212, Freetrade, or InvestEngine are needed instead.
