Our take
Recent innovations in banking and apps have opened the door for the average consumer to engage in a new set of financial services. BUX facilitates this as Europe’s fastest growing neobroker.
While the application has not reached the omnipresent level of market leaders like Robinhood, BUX is the first and only business to have built a full-stack system of its own, giving it an ability to adapt and scale in a way competitors cannot. Keeping up with the evolving investment space, the company launched BUX Crypto in 2022, granting its thousands of users access to trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Also in 2022, the company purchased the retail arm of neobroker Ninety Nine, with all its existing retail customers moving over to BUX. This has significantly bolstered its Spanish marketshare, as it moves ahead with a strategy to double down on its flagship application and help clients build long term wealth moving into the future.
