About Flatex

Welcome to flatex – Investing Made Simple

Founded in 2006, flatex, a brand of the listed flatexDEGIRO AG, has revolutionised online trading in Germany and across Europe. When we entered the market, investing was often expensive, complex, and reserved for the few. We changed that — by making securities trading clear, accessible, and affordable to everyone.

Backed by over 30 years of financial IT expertise, our own full banking licence, and a fully integrated business model, flatex offers a seamless, secure and professional trading experience. Today, customers benefit from one of Europe’s most comprehensive product portfolios — trading confidently on a platform that prioritises simplicity, safety and transparency.

Our pioneering flat-fee model – a fixed price of €5.90 per trade – made investing straightforward and transparent. This approach continues to attract hundreds of thousands of satisfied traders and investors in Germany and Austria.

As part of the flatexDEGIRO Group, one of Europe’s leading and fastest-growing online brokers, we manage over €70 billion in assets and have served more than 3 million customers, processing over 63 million transactions in 2024 alone.

At flatex, we believe successful investing starts with trust and simplicity. Whether you’re an active trader or a long-term investor, we’re your reliable partner for every step of your financial journey.
