Trade Republic Italian Expansion: Launching free accounts with local IBAN and automated tax submissions for Italian users.
Trade Republic Italian expansion builds on its success in France, now offering Italian customers free current accounts with a local IBAN. This service also includes automated tax submissions to local authorities, further streamlining users’ financial experience.
With over 8 million customers and over €100 billion in assets under management, Trade Republic has seen robust growth in international markets. The company notes that more than a third of its customer base now comes from outside Germany, which continues to rise rapidly.
The firm attributes its expansion to a growing demand for private retirement planning across Europe as more individuals seek alternatives to state-run pension systems.
Co-founder Christian Hecker emphasized the importance of addressing the pension gap, a growing concern for many Europeans. He stated that millions of people have recognized the limitations of government solutions to this pressing issue, adding, “The pension gap is a predictable and measurable problem that continues to be overlooked in political discussions.”
Hecker further highlighted Trade Republic’s commitment to providing localized and cost-effective financial products, thanks to its full banking license and proprietary infrastructure. Julian Collin, Trade Republic’s General Manager of International Markets, stated that although the pension gap is widespread, solutions must cater to each country’s specific needs. Following its success in France, the launch of services in Italy marks another critical step in the company’s strategy to localize its offerings across Europe.
Collin also pointed out that Trade Republic’s move into Italy aims to increase competition within the traditional banking sector, giving consumers more options for long-term savings and wealth management. As The Trade Republic continues to expand its footprint in Europe, its localized approach could reshape the future of retail banking and wealth management, offering consumers new opportunities to manage their finances with greater control and convenience.
