Hanover stock exchange is responsible for the oversight and trading supervision according to the German stock exchange act.

New features for clients

This makes the unrivaled trading flat rate in the PRIME+ Broker for €4.99 per month even more attractive. It now comprises unlimited trading on EIX in addition to gettex (Munich stock exchange). This is also facilitated by the recently agreed multi-year cooperation between Scalable Capital and the current custodian bank Baader Bank AG, who is a market maker at the Munich stock exchange for stocks, funds, ETPs and bonds. The Broker is complemented with flexible savings plans starting at €1 into more than 2,500 ETFs as well as the possibility to trade on XETRA (Deutsche Börse) at the unchanged competitive conditions.
