About Flatex

Flatex was founded in 2006 in Frankfurt am Main and today belongs to flatexDEGIRO AG, one of the largest online brokers in Europe. The BaFin-regulated broker is characterized by its simple flat-fee structure: 5.90 euros per order plus exchange fees. The product range is comprehensive and includes stocks, ETFs, options, futures, funds, bonds, and derivatives. The Eurex options trading and US options capabilities make Flatex particularly attractive for advanced traders. With Flatex Trader 2.0, a professional trading platform is available that offers advanced charting tools and analysis functions. Flatex caters to both active traders and long-term investors who benefit from a wide selection of savings plans. The minimum deposit is 0 euros. It is worth noting the negative interest on cash balances and additional exchange fees that come on top of the flat-fee costs.
