Munich, 28-09-2022. Scalable Capital, a leading European digital investment platform, expands to the Netherlands. Scalable Broker and Scalable Crypto provide Dutch retail clients with convenient and cost-effective trading and savings plans in exchange traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, stocks as well as cryptocurrencies. Regulated by the German financial supervisory authority BaFin, Scalable Capital provides a secure and innovative full-service brokerage offering.

Erik Podzuweit, founder and Co-CEO of Scalable Capital: ‘We have only recently surpassed 10 billion euro of client assets on our platform. More than half a million clients across Europe are already using our services to invest for their futures and many are primarily using ETFs. Dutch investors can now use our platform to benefit from the same secure and cost-effective access to the capital markets. In the inflationary environment that we’re currently in, investing has become the new saving, if you want to protect your money from losing value.’

Broad investment universe and savings plans at innovative price-point

The Scalable Broker offers Dutch clients a full-service brokerage. They gain access to over 7,000 global shares including Dutch household names, US blue chips and Emerging Market shares. Investors have the choice between two regulated European stock exchanges to get their orders executed: Xetra, operated by Deutsche Börse AG or gettex, a stock exchange of Bayerische Börse AG. No foreign exchange fees are incurred, since all trades are settled in euro.

Investors can diversify their investment via more than 1,800 ETFs and 2,000 mutual funds as well as all major cryptocurrencies. The broker offers a large universe of ETFs adhering to environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria and tracking socially responsible investments (SRI). Besides the sustainable ETFs, a large variety of equity ETFs, dividend ETFs and commodity ETFs round out the offer of the Scalable Broker, making it truly a one-stop platform for both experienced and new investors.

All ETFs, a selection of the most popular stocks and mutual funds as well as the cryptocurrencies are eligible for savings plans. The savings plans can be set up starting from an amount of just 1 euro, with no order fee.

Furthermore, Scalable Capital is continuing its path to becoming the leading digital investment platform across Europe. Investors in France, Spain, Italy and Austria now also have easy, low-cost access to trading and savings plans in stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrencies. The company thus already reaches 60 percent of the population in the European Union.

Scalable Capital offers all order types (market, limit, stop, stop limit order) free of charge, as well as extended trading hours (08:00 to 22:00), free real-time price data, different language versions and many more features in a modern and intuitive interface on both web and mobile apps (iOS and Android).

The company offers two pricing models to suit different client needs: The FREE Broker offers commission-free savings plans on ETFs, stocks, funds and commission-free trades in over 700 PRIME partner ETFs (iShares by BlackRock, Invesco and DWS Xtrackers). Orders in other instruments start at just 0.99 euro. The PRIME Broker includes all perks of the FREE Broker plus a trading flat rate with an unlimited number of trades for a monthly fee of 2.99 euro.

Stock-like crypto trading on regulated exchanges

Scalable Crypto (incorporated in the broker dashboard) offers easy, affordable and secure access to crypto investments via regulated European stock exchanges. What's unique about Scalable’s crypto offering is that it combines the security of trading on a regulated exchange with physically-backed exposure to the cryptocurrency asset class. There is no need to open a separate wallet or pay for the costly secure custody of the digital coins. The cryptocurrencies are simply held in the form of securities on the customer's existing brokerage account.
