Trade Republic: Disambiguation
Trade Republic is NOT the same as Scalable Capital, Flatex, or eToro, its main competitors for Austrian retail investors. Trade Republic is a fully licensed German bank (Trade Republic Bank GmbH) supervised by BaFin, rather than a pure e-money institution. It should not be confused with Bitpanda, which is multi-asset but Austria-based, or with DEGIRO.
