The Sparkassen (local savings banks) have introduced S-Neo, a free stock trading depot within their mobile app, allowing customers to invest in stocks, funds, and ETFs without needing to open an account with a Neobroker. The service simplifies investment processes by integrating directly into the Sparkassen app, eliminating the need for additional accounts or visits to physical branches. Users can manage all financial activities—checking current accounts, depots, and securities—in one place. Transactions are handled through the existing Sparkassen account, with fees starting at 0.95 euros per trade. While the service is available at select Sparkassen institutions, not all offer it, and users must meet certain requirements such as having an active online banking account and being of legal age. The Sparkassen also highlight potential risks, including total loss, and provide a list of participating institutions.
