The definitive benchmark for online broker reviews, StockBrokers.com reveals the 2026 Annual Awards, determined by independent testing and unbiased analysis.
ROYAL OAK, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$SCHW #finance—StockBrokers.com, the industry’s most respected authority on online brokerages, today announced the winners of the 2026 Annual Awards. Since 2009, these awards have served as the definitive benchmark for the U.S. brokerage industry, guiding millions of self-directed investors toward the best platforms for their financial goals.
The 2026 Annual Awards are the result of a rigorous, year-long analysis. Our research team conducts thousands of hours of hands-on testing across desktop, web, and mobile platforms, collecting an extensive dataset of quantitative and qualitative metrics to drive our scoring. By evaluating brokers across the specific categories that matter most to U.S. investors, we identify the firms that genuinely deliver value.
Jessica Inskip, Director of Investor Research at StockBrokers.com and a frequent market commentator for CNBC, Fox Business, and Yahoo Finance, oversaw this year’s testing.
“Heading into 2026, the brokerage industry is at an inflection point where quantity of features no longer equates to quality of experience,” said Jessica Inskip, Director of Investor Research at StockBrokers.com. “Our latest reviews and rankings surface the underappreciated strengths and persistent blind spots across platforms, giving investors and firms a clearer view of what actually creates a competitive edge.”
