About flatexDEGIRO

flatexDEGIRO AG, a prominent online brokerage firm, traces its roots back to the founding of Flatex GmbH in 1999 by Frank Niehage. Initially established as a fintech company, it has since evolved into a major player in the European online brokerage market. A significant milestone in its history was the acquisition of DEGIRO in 2019, which substantially expanded its European footprint. This strategic move was followed by a rebranding to flatexDEGIRO AG. The company operates in the financial services sector, specifically targeting retail investors across Europe. Its business model centers on providing a low-cost, comprehensive trading and investment platform. Revenue is primarily generated through transaction fees, which are structured to be competitive, alongside fees for other services such as custody of securities.
