Berlin, September 15, 2023. Trade Republic expands its offering as Europe's largest savings platform: Starting today, customers can invest into 500 liquid government and corporate bonds. With bonds investors can lock in  high interest rates for years.

"In the current environment, bonds are an important asset to benefit from high interest rates over the long term. We are the first broker in Europe to open up this asset class to retail investors," says Christian Hecker, Co-Founder of Trade Republic. "For a long time, people had to rely on expensive banks or advisors to access the bond market. With this new offering, we are taking another step to make the capital market accessible to everyone and empower people to create wealth."

Trade Republic unlocks two key challenges of the bond market for retail investors: Usually, bonds require a minimum of €1,000 investments. This makes them hard to afford for many people. In addition, it's cumbersome to find relevant bonds, which are liquid at the moment. As the first broker in Europe, Trade Republic now offers 500 liquid government and corporate bonds, with a minimum investment of 1 €. This comes with the customary no order commission, and a third-party fee of one euro for settlement.

This opens up bond trading to a broad customer group for the first time  in Europe. It is in line with Trade Republic's mission to open up the capital market for everyone. The current market environment with high interest rates, which have just been raised once again by the ECB, offers European savers the opportunity to grow their wealth over the long term.

Bond trading comes along with a new app version. "Over the last four years, we have grown to become the largest savings platform in Europe," says Marsel Nikaj, VP Products at Trade Republic. "Millions of Europeans have started saving with Trade Republic for the very first time in their lives. With this feedback, we redesigned the app from the ground up. The all new Trade Republic app makes investing easier, faster and more effective than ever.”

In addition, Trade Republic passes through the interest of 4% p.a. on uninvested cash received from partner banks to its existing and new customers starting October 1, 2023.
