DEGIRO
Dutch-founded broker, now operating as DEGIRO within BaFin-regulated flatexDEGIRO Bank AG. Europe's leading retail broker with 3M+ customers across 15 European countries and access to 50+ exchanges at some of Europe's lowest trading fees.
Quick facts
Trading fees are genuinely among the lowest in Europe, and access to 50+ exchanges means you're not limited to a handful of major markets.
Customer support is largely self-service and slower than a full-service broker, and the platform lacks some of the research and charting tools power traders expect.
Why does it score 83?
Incorporated in Frankfurt, Germany – a full EU member state.
Publicly traded as part of flatexDEGIRO AG, with a German-listed parent rather than standing fully independent.
DEGIRO runs its own trading infrastructure across Germany and the Netherlands rather than a third-party cloud.
GDPR-compliant, but the platform isn't open source and there's no independently published security audit on record.
