Status: Researched · 12 June 2026. I have not used Fidelity’s international trading — researched via Fidelity’s own pages. See the US investors guide for the context.
What it is
Most of this registry’s multi-market brokers won’t take Americans. Fidelity is the opposite case: a US giant whose international trading feature gives US residents online access to 25 markets in 16 currencies — enabled on a normal Fidelity account, no separate entity, no minimum.
Why it matters here
The list is mostly the developed core, but four lines earn Fidelity a place in this registry:
- South Africa (JSE) — online, in rand or USD. For a US retail investor this is the cleanest JSE route that exists; compare the Saxo page’s entity-dependent JSE saga.
- Greece (Athens) — online, without the SAT-account machinery that complicates the Greece page’s European routes (DEGIRO, the cleanest EU route, doesn’t take Americans at all).
- Mexico and Poland — direct lines Americans otherwise reach via IBKR.
The usual pairing for a US reader of this site: IBKR for breadth (35 markets including Brazil, the Gulf, Korea, Taiwan, the Baltics), Fidelity for the JSE/Athens lines and the convenience of a domestic giant. Between the two, an American covers nearly everything this registry tracks that’s coverable without local onboarding.
Limits
No frontier exchanges: nothing in Africa beyond the JSE, no Southeast Asian markets beyond Singapore, no Gulf, no LatAm beyond Mexico. The 25 markets are a developed-plus set, not an IBKR rival on reach — the point is who’s allowed in, not how far it goes.
Verdict
For US residents, the natural second broker after IBKR — and for JSE or Athens specifically, arguably the first call. For everyone else on this site: not available, move along. Researched, not tested.
