In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of AxisDirect Vs Edelweiss.
AxisDirect is a brokerage arm of Axisbank and hence provide 3-in-1 demat account. It enables seamless transfer of funds within the accounts. Brokerage of this broker is on higher side.
Whereas Edelweiss is a full service broker and provides many services to its clients. Both of these brokers offer research and recommendation to their customers.
But still there are lot of differences between these two brokers.
I have equated both these brokers based on Company overview, Account related charges, Brokerage Charges, Transaction charges, Exposure provided, other features, Investment services, Customer service , Research/recommendations and promotion offer on account opening if any.
However, if you already have account with any of these brokers, kindly share your experience with me and fellow readers through comments.
