About us

What we do

Our drive: to give all people the opportunity to consciously determine their own financial future.

As a leading investment platform in Europe, we do everything we can to enable access to the capital market through smart technologies, ease of use and low costs. We believe in entry opportunities, not entry barriers.

That's why, with Scalable Wealth, our digital asset management service, we have offered a simple and cost-effective option since the beginning of 2016 for anyone who doesn't want to take care of their own investments. Accumulate wealth or grow wealth - both can be implemented automatically and conveniently thanks to a large selection of investment strategies and customisable savings options.

With the Scalable Broker, on the other hand, investors can trade stocks, ETFs, funds, cryptocurrencies and derivatives independently. Our intuitive app makes trading easy, convenient and mobile. With a monthly savings amount of just one euro, we create opportunities for countless investors to make financially self-determined provisions.
