2021-04-22 11:59:27 Dear community,

We’re excited to announce our $80 million funding round led by top-tier investors Prosus Ventures and Tencent. The round also included new investors ABN Amro Ventures, Citius, Optiver, and Endeit Capital. This money will help us expand across Europe and beyond, empowering more people to build wealth for the future.

We're looking forward to the coming period where we're expecting hyper growth for both BUX Zero and Crypto, as both products form pillars of the long term strategic vision.

2021-04-04 11:37:19 Dear community,

Some of last week’s BUX mentions in the news:

FD: Opleving GameStop en Bitcoin voedt discussie over inkomsten brokers
Region: NL
Voorzitter van Europese financiële waakhond ESMA Steven Maijoor liet zich recent kritisch uit over de 'gratis' handelsmodellen van 'neobrokers', zoals Trade Republic in Duitsland en ook Bux in Nederland. Bux-ceo Nick Bortot is ook kritisch op wat hij 'de olifant in de kamer' noemt. 'In onze visie is geen plek voor payment for order in het bedrijfsmodel van brokers. Wij willen niet afhankelijk zijn van het aantal klanttransacties.' (article attached)

Libre Eco: Savings account? Little interest according to the majority of young people
Region: BE
Three quarters of young people do not see the point of having a savings account, which, according to them, brings no added value, according to a study by the Dutch mobile broker Bux carried out among more than a thousand investors in the Benelux and whose results are published Thursday.

Business AM: Spaarboekjes: challenger Aion Bank verruimt toegang tot 1 procent spaarrente
Region: BE
Uit een Nederlandse enquête door de beurs-app Bux blijkt dan weer dat bijna 8 op de 10 jongeren geen toegevoegde waarde zien in een spaarrekening. Maar liefst 80% van de jongeren onder de 25 (generatie Z) en 70 procent van de millennials denken dat beleggen de nieuwe manier is om een financiële toekomst op te bouwen. De oudere generaties daarentegen zien wel het nut in van een klassieke spaarrekening.

Kleine Zeitung: “Women are superior to men in the stock market”
Region: AT
Small investors have even recently brought hedge funds into trouble with stock market apps. Nils-Hendrik Höcker from the Bux app explains why young people in particular also use mobile phones to buy stocks. Nils-Hendrik Höcker is responsible for Germany and Austria for the Bux stock exchange app.

AD: Jongeren beleggen meer, én gedragen zich volwassen: ‘Ze beleggen voor de lange termijn’
Region: NL
Bux Zero rekent geen commissie over simpele aan- en verkooptransacties. ,,Beleggen is niet interessant als je 10 euro commissie betaalt over een transactie van 100 euro’’, zegt Nick Bortot, bestuursvoorzitter bij Bux. ,,Nu is de beurs beter bereikbaar voor jongeren.’’

FD: Kroegen en universiteiten dicht? Beleggen dan maar
Region: NL
Ook belegt de jongere diverser en internationaler. Bux-ceo Nick Bortot meent dat 'Generatie Z en millennials beleggen veel meer zien als een aanvulling op toekomstige inkomsten dan veertigplussers, voor wie beleggen eerder speculatief en “iets leuks” is.' (print article attached)

Basic Thinking: Stock market hype: this is how German investors think and invest
Region: DE
This is made possible by so-called neobrokers such as Trade Republic , Smartbroker or Bux , which enable the purchase, sale and saving of shares and ETFs conveniently via an app on the smartphone. German investors prefer conservative (dividend) stocks. And what exactly is the situation with the investments? In which values do German investors invest their money? The neo broker Bux has dealt with this question.

2021-03-21 17:32:09 BUX Crypto Newsletter #19

Dear community,

We're bringing you the nineteenth newsletter of BUX Crypto

In this newsletter, we like to give you a quick update on our team's developments.

If you want to tune in to BUX Crypto on a daily basis, please follow us on Twitter or Telegram for more frequent updates and insights!

In the past weeks we've worked on:

- Due to the increased attention the crypto markets are now getting, BUX Crypto has seen a substantial increase of volume and inflow of new users. The BUX Crypto platform saw a 1000% increase in total quarterly volume in Q1 2021 compared to Q4 2020. In addition, a 300% increase of funded accounts and a 475% increase of Assets under Management (AuM) since December 31, 2020, also shows that new crypto investors are finding their way to the BUX Crypto platform.

- Expanding the team as a result of this significant growth of the BUX Crypto platform in the past months! We welcome our newest team members: Maria, Mees, Luc, Bengt & Sagar

- Exploring a bridge between the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain ecosystem to unlock access for users to Uniswap, an easy-to-use swap tool.

- Limit orders (the option to buy and sell cryptocurrency for set price levels instead of the market price).

- Integrating a new payment service provider that allows us to process credit card payments for users with Mastercard or VISA credit cards.

- Development of the BUX Crypto deposit and withdrawal verification app that is in line with the new Dutch crypto laws for cryptocurrency service providers. We expect to launch the first beta version next month.

- Smaller UX improvements to the platform: making pre-approval requests for higher limits available to users, and showing the EUR withdrawal option when users have no balance instead of hiding it completely.

- Launching the new BUX Community Forum with already 1000+ active user invites in the private beta. The BUX Forum will go public in the second week of April.

In the coming weeks we will work on:

- Next week we'll list the three new crypto assets with Euro trading pair on the platform: Compound (COMP), Maker (MKR), and Kyber Network (KNC). These are highly respected projects in the rising DeFi (Decentralised Finance) space and in the coming period, we are exploring more new and exciting crypto assets to list on the platform. Keep an eye on our Telegram or Twitter channels for the launch this coming week.

- Continuing the work on new product features mentioned above.

- Exploring a top tier exchange listing as we communicated earlier this year.

- Continuing with the integration of Apple pay and Google pay as new payment options for depositing Euro to the platform.

- DNB registration: still pending approval, we'll provide an update once we have information that we can share!

In order to accelerate all our plans for development this year, we are looking to hire new developers!

So, if you are interested or know someone who might be interested to join our team, feel free to check out the open positions.

Let me know if you have any further questions in our Telegram community channel or follow us on Twitter.

Cheers from Amsterdam,

Kai Bennink
