Trading app

German: Neobroker

An app-first broker with very low or zero commissions.

Commission-free trading apps changed retail investing in the late 2010s. They earn money from payment for order flow where allowed, interest on customer cash, margin lending, currency fees and premium subscriptions. They are cheap for simple ETF investing; some lack research tools, account types or international access.
