Comment by Reviewer
"BUX Zero is a good choice for long-term European investors looking for thematic portfolios and fractional shares on a user-friendly mobile app." "I think traders looking for an easy-to-use mobile trading app with auto investment options and savings plans should consider Trade Republic. However, after testing out the account, the lack of additional tools and resources was a major drawback for me."
