Not that Monestro has commissions, it has a small commission for each withdrawal we make (in this case 40 cents), small commissions for purchases and sales in the secondary market … and for each Auto Invest that we activate from the third, we will have to pay … 5 euros! … so do not have more than 3 Auto Invest activated at the same time.
