Why findependent exists in the first place
Our founder Matthias had already experienced back in 2018 at a neobank how modern banking works: simple, low-cost, transparent. It quickly became clear: when it comes to investing, exactly such a product was missing.
Many of his friends left their money rotting in savings accounts or used complicated bank products with hidden fees. Matthias wanted to change that and create a solution he could recommend to all his friends with a clear conscience – easy to understand, without jargon, and with fair fees.
Today, findependent is precisely that. And even more: we now manage our customers' accounts and custody accounts ourselves. For you, this means everything comes from a single source, without unnecessary detours through third-party banks. An app for Matthias’s friends. For you. And for your friends.
