Investment Apps and Platforms – Luxembourg

Investors in Luxembourg have access to a variety of regulated investment platforms that support multiple asset types, such as stocks, ETFs, bonds, and funds.

2. Trade Republic

Trade Republic is a mobile‑first broker that offers commission‑free trading on many ETFs and stocks. It has a simplified interface designed for beginners and intermediate investors.

5. Bank Investment Platforms

Many traditional banks in Luxembourg and the EU offer integrated investment services linked to your bank account. These platforms typically provide access to mutual funds, SICAVs, bonds, and sometimes ETFs.
