German digital bank N26 has announced the rollout of ETF trading in 12 new markets.
Over the coming weeks, investors in Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Slovenia will be able to trade a range of over 500 popular stocks and ETFs through the N26 app – with the offering set to rise to more than 1,000 in the coming months.
The new geographies follow successful launches in Austria, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, France and Spain.
Valentin Stalf, founder and CEO at N26, commented: “With this new feature, we are further expanding our product portfolio and building on the launches of N26 Instant Savings and Joint Accounts to offer our customers one of the most attractive investment and saving products to accompany their N26 bank account.”
Trading ETFs through digital platforms continues to grow in Europe, according to a recent YouGov poll commissioned by BlackRock, with 75% of investors accessing ETFs through online brokers, online platforms or robo advisors.
N26 partnered with Upvest to offer ETF trading, with the latter providing licences for securities, brokerage and custody.
