BUX continues European expansion with the launch of BUX Zero, its zero-commission mobile investing app, in the German and Austrian market

AMSTERDAM, NL, June 8, 2020 - Today, BUX continues its European expansion with the official launch of BUX Zero in Germany and Austria. BUX enters the German and Austrian market with its newest app and an existing footprint across 9 European countries, 2.5 million users and armed with a full-fledged back-end broker, the entire engine that lies beneath the app.

COVID-19 as an investment trigger

The market activity caused by the Corona pandemic has driven many young investors to the stock markets, in some cases for the first time.This surge in new customers among online brokers shows that first-time investors are taking advantage of a once in a decade opportunity to enter the markets rather than shy away from it.

This unprecedented market activity at the start of the pandemic generated significant capital inflows for BUX Zero, with assets under management almost tripling in March alone. Unlike some of its competitors, BUX Zero did not experience any system failures during this period, a strong confirmation that its own backend broker has paid off. Additionally, BUX Zero has successfully onboarded all new clients without long wait lists.

BUX Zero initially launched in the Netherlands in September 2019, and will be targeting France for the next phase of its European expansion plan for the summer of 2020.
