Who we are

Our offering includes among others stocks, ETFs, Funds and Exchange Traded Products as well as savings plans. Our ambition is to be the leading European platform for building wealth.

We use proprietary IT and to cover the entire value added chain through our subsidiary flateDEGIRO Bank.

Company history

  • 2009

    With its IPO in 2009, flatex changed gears, growing organically but also seizing opportunities via mergers and acquisitions.

    In a first step it expanded into the segment for heavy traders with the acquisitions of the German brokerage business of E-Trade and the brokerage platform ViTrade.

  • 2015

    In 2015 flatex took over XCOM, a provider of e-banking and trading solutions. This move implemented the business model of integrated online retail brokerage, successful to date.

    It was also the parent company of biw Bank, then flatex’s outsourcing partner for the brokerage related banking business.

  • 2020

    With the acquisition of Dutch online broker DEGIRO in 2020, flatex developed into a truly pan-European online broker adding 14 regional markets and significantly expanding its customer base. At this point in time, the company was rebranded to flatexDEGIRO and advanced its listing at the Frankfurt Stock exchange to Prime Standard.

    This paved the way to include the stock first in the small cap index SDAX. In spring 2025, flatexDEGIRO was upgraded to the mid cap index MDAX, now ranking among the top 90 companies in Germany.
