Are you a retail investor from Europe? Maybe you invested through your bank before but stopped because their fees ate into your profits? Or perhaps you are completely new to the world of investing and don’t know where to start. Perhaps you’re already investing but want to save on cost, have access to more products, a better platform, or something else entirely.

If you’re thinking about getting into investing, you’ve probably noticed that it’s extremely confusing to get started and that you’re confronted with a ton of different options and platforms, apps, and exchanges that are all asking to place your money with them. If you’re a DIY savvy person and spent some time comparing different investment platforms yourself, you’ve probably realized that your bank or local provider is probably not giving you the best deal and that they’re more or less only looking out for themselves.

That’s one of the reasons why more and more people are ditching their banks and moving their finances online to be in full control of their assets and financial freedom. But with that freedom comes more responsibility to avoid making mistakes that could cost you dearly. Your best option is to research everything carefully and use trusted investment platforms that won’t sell you false promises.
