Comment by Reviewer
"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."
Pros
  • It's good to see that Trade Republic is authorized and regulated by the Federal Bank of Germany (BaFin) with €100,000 compensation available per investor
  • I'm a fan of Trade Republic's sleek and modern mobile app with simple navigation and an easy-to-use interface
  • I think the commission-free pricing model on all assets with $0 minimum deposit and $1 minimum investment makes the broker ideal for beginners
  • Trade Republic offers a pretty impressive asset list including 8000+ international stocks, 500+ ETFs, 40,000+ derivatives and 50+ crypto coins
  • I also like that interest payments are available on uninvested cash balances
Cons
  • I think it's a shame that there's no demo account or any educational content on offer for beginners
  • There are limited customer support options with no live chat or telephone contact
  • My tests found that Trade Republic is only available to European residents
