AxisDirect Vs HDFC Securities: Side By Side Comparison

In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of AxisDirect Vs HDFC Securities.

AxisDirect is a brokerage arm of Axisbank and HDFC Securities is of HDFC bank. So both provide 3-in-1 demat account as they are promoted by banks. 3-in1 demat account enables seamless transfer of funds within the accounts. But usually brokerage charges of banks are on higher side.

Both of them provide many services to their clients. They 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.
