First, they offered 40 monthly free trades with $2,500 minimum, then reduced the minimum to $1,000, later removed the account minimum all together. But that didn’t last long as they reinstalled the $2,500 minimum requirement and cut free trades per month to 10.

Thanks a lot for this. Not that what you said was negative -- it just rang a bell with me. I'm not too comfortable about policy changing like that. I also took note of your comment that they sounded overwhelmed with new applications... maybe they're having growing pains too? wow i was about to try them out and your post changed my mind.

I have had an account with Zecco for over 6 months and have over $40K in the account. The change to 10 free trades a month will not matter as I make less than 10 trades a month. I plan to keep my Zecco account and continue to get free stock trades. I think it is natural for a company to tweak a new business model.

It's their business and they can change whenever they are pleased. However, the problem I have is how quick Zecco changed its terms. It seems that they don't know what exactly they want to offer and whether the offer is too much or not enough. Michael: I have a very small account with Zecco (larger than the $2,500 minimum though). I always doubt if they can maintain the commission free structure, so I didn't move much money to the account. I will probably keep the account. The change won't affect me at all as I only do a small number of trades. I have no problem with companies changing their policy. It’s their business and they can change whenever they are pleased.

People shouldn't be trading stocks with low account balances anyways in my opinion. I think it makes sense that Zecco has an account minimum.
