How We Make Money
Gemini Stocks earns revenue through:
Payment for order flow (PFOF [1]) — compensation received from market makers who execute your trades. We are required to disclose PFOF practices per SEC Rule 606; you may request our quarterly 606 report at any time.
Interest earned on uninvested cash balances held in your account.
The following fees are set by federal regulators, self-regulatory organizations (SROs), and exchanges—not us. We collect them on their behalf and pass them through to you at exactly the rates we are charged, with no markup. These fees are required to be charged under applicable law and FINRA rules and are reflected on your trade confirmations.
Fee | Amount | When charged |
|---|---|---|
SEC Section 31 fee [2] | $20.60 per $1,000,000 of principal (rate varies) | Sell orders only |
The SEC assesses this fee on broker-dealers to fund its regulatory operations. It applies only to the sale of NMS securities (exchange-listed stocks and ETFs) and is calculated on the total dollar value of shares sold. Gemini Stocks, in its sole discretion, may choose to not pass one this fee for transactions below a certain notional value.
Fee | Amount | When charged |
|---|---|---|
FINRA TAF [3] | $0.000195 per share (max $9.79 per trade) | Sell orders only |
FINRA assesses the TAF on broker-dealers for each equity share sold. It funds FINRA's member regulation program. The fee is $0.000195 per share, capped at $9.97 per trade, and is subject to adjustment by FINRA.
