and no indication of future performance.
Build your portfolio by investing in full shares or fractions of your favorite companies over time for as little as €1.
Fractional shares allow you to invest in stocks and ETFs that cost hundreds or thousands of Euros for a single share with as little as €1. This gives you the flexibility to invest as much as you want in the companies or ETFs you believe in, or try your hand at investing without committing to an entire share.
INVEST 24/7
Invest whenever you want, even when the traditional stock market is closed.
The assets you acquire are derivatives representing the underlying stocks or ETFs, which are issued by Bitpanda. It means you aren’t bound to traditional trading hours. You can buy or sell your assets any time or day of the week, including weekends and public holidays.
SECURE WITH REDUCED COUNTERPARTY RISK
Your investments are physically backed and held by a custody bank - keeping them safe at all times and reducing counterparty risk.
By investing in Bitpanda Stocks, you're purchasing a fractional share of a stock issued by Bitpanda via a derivative contract. The difference between a stock and a derivative is like the difference between a thing and its shadow — one is an existing entity and the other is an imitation created by the entity. Your investment is fully backed by the respective underlying assets stored with our custody banks. This agreement reduces your counterparty risk.
ZERO COMMISSIONS
We don't charge commissions on any trades, ever.
While we don’t charge commissions, a spread is applied when you acquire or end an investment, similar to the difference between the 'buy' and 'sell' rates when converting money at a foreign exchange.
BITPANDA STOCKS BETA
We want you to have the best user experience possible. So in the coming months, we're planning to release many innovative features and thousands of new companies for you to invest in.

Bitpanda purchases the underlying stocks through partner exchanges
The underlying stock is bought by Bitpanda, then stored with a custody bank.
Our custody bank partners hold the stocks for safekeeping
Your investment is backed by the respective underlying assets stored with our custody banks. This agreement means that your assets are largely shielded from counterparty risk.
You invest in fractions of the stocks via derivatives
A derivative contract is a financial product that allows you to invest in shares (full or fractional) of an underlying asset. Unlike purchasing a traditional stock, investing in a derivative means you can trade 24/7, even outside trading hours.
The minimum amount for a single buy or sell transaction is as little as €1. It means you can start investing in Amazon or Tesla from just €1. For all savings plans, the minimum recurring purchase amount is €25.

These implications depend on the tax rules of your home country, i.e. the country in which you are considered a resident for tax purposes. It is your responsibility to understand how to declare and pay taxes. You can find a general guideline on this topic here.

Bitpanda has a variety of security layers in place to ensure smooth operations even under heavy load. However, certain events can force us to execute trading stops for specific assets. Examples include critical company announcements, extraordinary market liquidity issues or similar instabilities. The moment such an event becomes apparent, we will notify you immediately and resolve the issue as soon as possible. More on this can be found in our helpdesk article.
In the prospectus and other legal documents we always mention “A-Token” and not “Bitpanda Stocks”. These terms refer to the same thing. Both refer to our new product that allows you to invest in stocks and ETFs via a contract with Bitpanda. These Bitpanda Stocks/A-Tokens are registered in an internal Bitpanda database and can therefore only be acquired or terminated via the Bitpanda platform. Even though we call them “Tokens” in the legal documents, they are neither mapped on a blockchain nor are they ERC20 tokens.
The prospectus, including further details on this product, the issuer and the relevant risks can be found here in German (audited version) and English. Please be aware that only the offer in Austria is governed by this prospectus.
When reading through the FAQs, please keep in mind that Bitpanda enables commission-free, fractional and 24/7 stock/ETF investing through a contract between Bitpanda and the user tracking investments in an underlying stock or ETF. You can read more about this here.
