Skopje’s bank brokerage, not the similarly named Bitola institution
Sections ↑This profile covers Stopanska Banka AD Skopje and its securities-and-brokerage service. The exchange identifies the Skopje bank and stb.com.mk separately from the former Stopanska Banka AD Bitola, now displayed as ALTA Banka. The shared historical name is not evidence of one account, one licence or a migration between them.[5][6]
Onboarding
| Customer | Published requirements |
|---|---|
| Individual | Identity card or passport; cash account. A seller without a Stopanska transaction account may use another bank.Source 1 |
| Legal entity | Notarised incorporation document no older than three months, signatory records and IDs, dealing decision and cash account.Source 1 |
Brokerage and custody have separate departments. A bank account alone does not specify securities registration or dealing authority.[1]
Local dealing, overseas order transmission and issuer mandates
Sections ↑Service
| Service | What the bank describes | Practical distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic brokerage | Client purchases and sales, plus own-account dealing. | Customer execution and bank principal positions are different roles.Source 1 |
| Foreign securities | Acceptance and transmission of overseas buy/sell orders. | Not proof that every foreign exchange is available in E-TRADER.Source 1 |
| Primary bond subscriptions | Iute’s 2026 issue identifies Stopanska’s securities division as an authorised intermediary. | A dated issuer mandate, not an endorsement of that bond.Source 8 |
The Iute offer is scheduled from 5 August to 2 November 2026. Its terms use EUR 100 nominal bonds and an exchange auction model. Those issue-specific conditions should not be treated as the entry minimum or pricing method for every Stopanska account.[8]
Domestic and foreign transactions have different schedules
Sections ↑Domestic share transaction value: MKD
A MKD 100,000 share execution gives MKD 1,015; MKD 20,000 hits the MKD 500 floor. The bond schedule’s first 1.015% band extends to MKD 2,500,000. These are published tariff examples, not all-in quotes.[2]
Foreign securities: MKD-equivalent value
At MKD 100,000 equivalent, the foreign commission hits its MKD 1,000 floor before actual costs. Custody is separate: the tariff specifies a minimum MKD 500 plus VAT monthly; the percentage-rate period needs confirmation.[2]
The retrieved table does not establish whether its larger-value bands are applied progressively or as a whole-order rate. No example straddles a boundary. An international quote also needs the conversion rate, external execution charges, custody basis and taxes rather than the headline percentage alone.
E-TRADER, branches and the securities desk
Sections ↑Instructions may be submitted in person, through branches or electronically through E-TRADER. The source did not establish a complete stop-order menu, order-validity catalogue or guaranteed outage-dealing process.[1]
E-TRADER access should not be confused with the bank’s payment-app login. In particular, accepting a foreign order for onward transmission is a different capability from automatically executing that order on the domestic interface. The customer needs confirmation of the chosen market, limit, validity and acceptance status.
Prefunding securities is different from converting currency
Sections ↑Purchases must be prefunded. The current sale-proceeds withdrawal and outgoing securities-transfer timetables were not established.[1]
Separate bank FX service
| Customer / route | Published condition |
|---|---|
| Individuals | Negotiated quotes for amounts above EUR 10,000 equivalent.Source 4 |
| Legal entities | Negotiated quotes for amounts above EUR 3,000 equivalent.Source 4 |
| Dealing window | Weekdays 08:30–16:00, with the bank’s specified instruction channels.Source 4 |
This is a bank currency-conversion service, not evidence of a leveraged retail FX/CFD platform. A securities purchase funded in another currency needs its own quote and value-date arrangement; the existence of an FX desk does not establish a zero-spread conversion.[4]
Custody administration is not protection against an investment loss
Sections ↑Custody includes account administration, payment collection and corporate-action notices. Those services do not guarantee issuer payment or investment value.[1]
The exchange issuer record confirms the exact Skopje bank, but an issuer listing is not a blanket authorisation for every overseas service. A separate current permission row and the full foreign custody chain were not retrieved. This reference therefore does not assign an unverified licence number or compensation limit.[5]
Dealer, custodian and complaint channels
Sections ↑Contact
| Contact | Function | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Securities dealing | Trade instructions | +389 2 3295 405 / 406 / 407; [email protected].Source 1 |
| Custody | Holding administration | +389 2 3295 356; [email protected].Source 1 |
| Contact centre | 24-hour customer assistance | +389 2 3100 109; [email protected].Source 3 |
The bank accepts customer complaints through its stated contact and branch procedures. Its published response period is 15 business days from receipt. If that cannot be met, it says it will explain the delay and expected response time, no later than 35 business days from the original receipt. These are complaint-response periods, not trade-execution deadlines.[3]
The current office should be checked against older forms
Sections ↑The bank announced its new headquarters opening on 2 October 2026 and explicitly included brokerage facilities in the building. The exchange’s current issuer page gives Filip Vtori Makedonski Street 6, Skopje. Some older issuer and service documents still show the previous address, so document delivery should be confirmed with the department.[7][5]
- Headquarters
- Skopje, North Macedonia
