DEGIRO online trading platform

DEGIRO is a prominent European online brokerage founded in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2008. Originally established to provide professional-grade trading services to retail investors at significantly lower costs than traditional banks, it quickly expanded across 18 European countries due to its user-friendly interface and competitive fee structure.

In early 2021, DEGIRO was acquired by the German financial group flatex AG, leading to the creation of flatexDEGIRO AG. This merger combined one of the largest retail online brokers in Europe with a sophisticated German banking infrastructure. Today, the platform operates as a brand under the flatexDEGIRO Bank AG, which is headquartered in Germany and regulated by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), ensuring high standards of security and compliance for its millions of users across the continent.
