Neobroker: „Kostenlos, und zwar langfristig“: Trade Republic kontert Scalable mit Altersvorsorgeangebot

Frankfurt — Trade Republic has entered the fray in the competition for the Altersvorsorgedepot launched in January, according to initial reports by the Handelsblatt. The Neobroker is rolling out a "completely free" product as part of the pension reform currently promoted by the federal government, which aims to gradually replace the existing Riester pension starting next year.

This state-supported investment fund offers a predefined standard variant for passive investors and a comprehensive free variant for active investors. For months, banks, fintechs, and brokers have been positioning themselves and offering aggressive conditions to attract customers, with the hope that these clients will later generate more lucrative investment and supplementary business.

The free Altersvorsorgedepot represents a long-term promise for Trade Republic, stating that both provision-free trading and the dissemination of ECB interest rates were initially ridiculed as unprofitable in the market. However, they remain relevant today, according to Trade Republic's founder and CEO, Christian Hecker, speaking to the Handelsblatt.
