Fintech company StockRepublic, a world leader in apps and services for social trading, raises SEK 30 million in a new financing round. The capital round is led by Avanza's subsidiary Placera Media and allows the company to hire more employees, develop its service offering and continue to expand. Outside Sweden, StockRepublic has already established itself in the two largest fintech markets of Germany and the UK.

Placera Media is contributing SEK 15 million after a successful collaboration in which 

StockRepublic has operated and modernized Placera Media's stock forum

 since the beginning of the year with good results. The remaining SEK 15 million comes from existing investors and business angels.

– We are very proud to have Sweden's leading savings platform on board, both as customers and investors. StockRepublic has previously raised capital from customers, so it is a proven and successful model for us. This collaboration brings Avanza closer to us in a very positive way and allows us to continue to develop Avanza's platform with exciting new services, says Fabian Grapengiesser, CEO of StockRepublic.

StockRepublic has gained a firm foothold in Germany, the second largest fintech market in Europe, where it has set up a German company, received funding from the city of Hamburg, and won the award for 

the best financial product of the year for 2023

 with the hi!stocks app, which is developed and operated together with comdirect, part of Commerzbank. In the UK, StockRepublic has signed a customer agreement with the country's second-largest investment platform for private investors, interactive investor, and will establish itself there in earnest over the next six months.

– StockRepublic has shown impressive development, both in Sweden and internationally. Placera currently has Sweden's largest stock forum in Placera Forum, and together with StockRepublic, we can further develop functionality and user experience. The investment also includes that we get exclusivity in Sweden on StockRepublic's products, says Johan Kleis, CEO of Placera Media.

– We are pleased that Placera is making this investment. There is fantastic knowledge among our customers, and social trading is an important area for Avanza. Our customers have also requested the opportunity to compare their share portfolios with others, says Rikard Josefson, CEO of Avanza.

StockRepublic's platform for social trading is aimed at banks and other financial players who want to increase the engagement of their customers. Social trading allows investors to benefit from the experience and knowledge of other investors and share their successes and strategies.

 is on a mission to change that. They recently analyzed 261 financial institutions to provide consumers with guidance on useful products that are new to the market. After conducting independent competition analyses and customer surveys, the institute announced hi!stocks, the social trading app

By utilizing over 2,000 trained testers and sophisticated scientific methods, the DISQ team of sociologists, economists, and psychologists work to provide consumers with important clues and guidance for their purchasing decisions. For this particular study, DISQ joined forces with financial experts Carola Ferstl, a renowned business journalist, and Prof. Dr. Sven Christiansen, a Managing Director of the Institute for Quantitative Financial Analysis.

The award serves as a testament to the app’s innovative strength and ability to provide exceptional customer benefits and the commitment to excellence and dedication from the joint team of comdirect and StockRepublic.

The stock market may have been in a volatile downtrend this year, but the interest in StockRepublic is stronger than ever, with exceeded sales goals for 2022 as proof. With the rise of retail investors, banks and brokers face stiff competition from Neobrokers and WealthTech innovators as they battle it out to earn the business of the next generation of traders. As they all push to make passive customers more profitable, social trading has already proven to be essential to investors.

While you may not find any trading tips under the tree this year, we hope your holidays will be filled with joy, love, and warmth.

Season’s Greetings from StockRepublic

We had a productive 2022, launching hi!stocks with comdirect, a Developers page, and our Social Trading API. We expanded into the German market, secured InnoFinTech funding, and gained three new clients, including Placera. Despite market uncertainty, we surpassed our 2022 sales targets.

Season’s Greetings from StockRepublic & a Snowy Stockholm

, one of Sweden's largest financial sites and a wholly owned subsidiary of Avanza, with approximately 1,000,000 visitors per week, has partnered with us at StockRepublic to upgrade their popular investment forum with new-generation social trading tooling.

The Placera forum has served a key function for the company for many years but was quietly deactivated at the end of 2021 because the technology powering it had slowly become outdated. However, the forum has always been very popular, generating substantial traffic and attracting important visitors. Therefore, it was ideally not something that they wanted to be without.

Placera reached out to us on StockRepublic, wanting to rebuild their forum from scratch using modern technology that supports identified users and moderation to prevent illicit activities. The new solution also needed to fit seamlessly into the Placera and Avanza platforms as a whole.

Using our Social Trading API, we created a scalable and customized solution based on their needs. 

 is integrated with BankID as an extra identification layer, has state-of-the-art moderation tooling, and dually integrates with the Avanza trading platform.

The end-users can now tag, talk about, and follow all of the financial instruments available on the Avanza trading platform. The latest discussion on the Placera forum then effortlessly flows back into the Avanza trading platform, next to the bespoken financial instrument.

The new Placera Forum and the Avanza trading platform can independently exist while remaining connected and offering strong security layers. With this independence, Avanza can utilize the Placera Forum to create content, gain users, regardless of where those people have their bank account, and build relationships with potential new customers. This intersection of the Placera Forum and Avanza creates a customer acquisition channel for the company driven by user-generated content from real investors.

Sweden's largest financial site Placera has partnered with StockRepublic to revamp its popular investment forum with social trading tools. Users can now discuss, follow and tag financial instruments available on Avanza, fostering an environment for content creation and customer acquisition.

The Placera Forum is now Powered by StockRepublic

, a program that supports Hamburg startups and provides grants for innovative FinTech companies, has awarded StockRepublic 200,000€ funding to help fuel our growth and strengthen our position in Germany.

StockRepublic was chosen for the grant based on the following criteria:

Having an innovative concept with clear differentiation from the competition.

Being a company that is less than five years old.

Being a small company with a registered office in Hamburg

Having a strong team with a convincing business case.

In an important effort to build a closer relationship with our German customers and continue to conquer the second-biggest FinTech market in Europe, we are now setting up a legal entity in Germany.

This has been a long time coming, as StockRepublic has taken many steps to strengthen its foothold in the country.

The process has included adding a Country Manager position, participating in the 

, and establishing a thriving partnership with Commerzbank’s Comdirect, resulting in the investment community; 

But why Germany? Our Country Manager, Max, breaks down the details.

– First off, there are great talents, a combination of highly educated individuals, and a driven workforce. Second, the Neobanking segment, one of our main target groups, is poised to show a revenue growth of close to 53% in 2023. Third, the FinTech market is expected to continue to grow in the country, and with the improved digital infrastructure, we believe that the best is yet to come for the region as a whole. That certainly includes Hamburg, where we’ll have our base.

The legal entity is the next natural building block for StockRepublic and something that is being added to an already strong foundation. With this move, we can attract and hire top German talent, improve our expertise in certain areas, and streamline our operations.

We are now more ready than ever to provide excellent social trading products for the people of Germany.

We are establishing a legal entity in Germany, boosting our presence in Europe's robust FinTech market. This strategic move aims to tap into the region's talent pool, capitalize on the thriving Neobanking sector, and provide top-tier social trading products to German customers.

Here at StockRepublic, we have some unique insights from 

; the social network made explicitly for comdirect and their customers. Last week we pulled some data to showcase the correlation between DAX movements and engagement rates for social trading.

The data is pulled from trading days with a downward DAX movement of at least 2% since the hi!stocks app went live (May 11) until Nov 2. Therefore, the total sample size includes a total of eight different trading days during this period.

On July 5, for example, the DAX index dropped by -2.91% and was, from that perspective, one of the worst trading days for the hi!stocks community. On the back of that, we could see the following increases in engagement (vs. average) as a result:

Compared to average numbers, and therefore, July 5 actually proved to be one of the best 

 trading days for hi!stocks. Furthermore, the average social engagement of the eight trading days from the sample still paints a clear picture of the correlation between DAX index performance and social engagement:

Another fun fact – when we see a DAX movement of -2% or more, the hi!stocks app attracts 10% more visitors than on average.

 People turn to their community in times of uncertainty, and we are happy to provide one.

Data from StockRepublic reveals a correlation between DAX movements and engagement rates on hi!stocks, a social trading network for comdirect customers.

When the DAX Goes Down, Social Trading Goes Up

The hi!stocks heroes program was born when Johan Hartikainen (Head of Sales) and Max Knopp (Managing Director of Germany) brainstormed ideas for rewarding the most engaging members of the 

The concept aims to celebrate an elite group of community members with 5-star rankings and high engagement rates within the platform. Whether they send many messages, leave quality comments, or provide insights and information that other users find helpful, what rings true for all of them is that they make the platform and the experience better for others. As such, we now recognize them as hi!stocks heroes.

Our newfound heroes got their "hi!socks" at the end of October and were given a blue tick next to their username (similar to the verified badge you have seen elsewhere). However, that was just a first step – there are grander plans for the hi!stocks heroes' idea. Next, we want to improve the loyalty program and gamify the overall experience and future rewards. This will likely include the introduction of profile badges, whether for your first trade or most popular contribution, to grow the community of active hi!stocks heroes.

We always have social traders in mind when we look to improve the user experience and increase meaningful engagement in our customers' apps. That is why we recently decided to alter the feed experience to maximize community involvement around trades.

Before, when you made a trade, it became a post in the feed of other social traders.

Now, you will see a similar post but in a slicker design with an actionable link allowing you to access real-time price and trade details. We have made this update to encourage more people to understand the context of why a trade was made and to give them a shortcut to taking action.

The recent design update pinpoints the fact that our white-label apps are always in tune with the latest data insights, market needs, and industry trends. Dana and her team will continue to optimize the experience in the months ahead and would love to hear from you if you have feedback that could improve the user experience.

Quicker from Trade Post to Action

We have updated the feed to maximize community engagement around trades. Now, users see posts with an actionable link to real-time price and trade details. It simplifies the path from inspiration to action, aligning with the latest data insights and market trends.

Whitelabel Design Update: Quicker from Trade Post to Action

To make the app more dynamic, we have improved the post-login landing page with an emphasis on social connectivity and improved engagement. Gone are the days of strictly seeing a portfolio overview. With this update, the end-users can access insights, the community, and their portfolio right from the get-go.

The "Portfolio Overview" is now called "My Investments." In this view, we have curated the end users' favorite interaction points in three key tabs, Overview, Holdings, and Transactions, to give quick access and a better overview of everything around their investments.

As a result, 30 days past the change in the 

, we could see the 1st-week retention increase by 15% and the users with connected bank accounts growing by 17%.

It's easy to say that social interaction counts.

Boosting Social Connectivity and Engagement

Our Whitelabel app has been redesigned to enhance social connectivity and engagement. The new 'My Investments' view includes an Overview, Holdings, and Transactions tab. The update underscores the importance of social interaction.

It’s officially halftime for 2022, and we are excited about the summer here at StockRepublic. Midsummer, an immensely popular Swedish summer solstice celebration, has come and gone. However, the memories of eating pickled herring, drinking snaps, and singing traditional songs with friends and family will live on.

, fintech startups raised a total of 125 billion dollars in VC funding globally during 2021, which is almost three times more than the year prior. Early-stage funding is also on the rise, especially in Europe and emerging markets. In 2021, almost 1.8k early-stage fintech rounds were completed.

What we’re seeing now is an Open Finance Movement, where consumers are gaining ownership and control over their money, financial data, and investments. What does this mean for your bank, you may ask? The way we see it, banks that understand these changes and are fast to implement innovative solutions for their consumers will have a competitive edge over the ones that don’t. One example of the magnitude of this movement is the recent news that 

JP Morgan is now adding 12 billion dollars to their technology budget

 to add new products and services that will take them into the future.

More banks now realize the growing importance of boosting their innovation in the WealthTech sector – a unification of wealth, savings and investments, and technology. This, for example, includes social trading platforms, robo-advising, and digital wallets. In the post-pandemic world, where 

the number of retail investors has skyrocketed

, there’s a lot to gain. In Europe alone, ​​the number of retail investors has doubled since the beginning of last year. One of the many opportunities that WealthTech holds is social trading platforms – open and accessible communities for traders where users can exchange information and inspiration.

In times of uncertainty and fluctuating markets, we’re seeing an even greater need for proactive communication from banks and brokers. How do you inform your customers about important events relating to their portfolio? If you’re asking me, the bank should know what's important for their customers – and make them aware of it instantly. This is something we've been working on a lot recently, and it turns out it’s a really good thing – for example, when Netflix recently dropped 20 percent in just a few hours. Since I own stocks on Netflix, I instantly received a notification about it, and it made me want to share community insights about what people are saying and doing about Netflix right now.

Fintech really is Daniel Ekberger’s thing. He’s worked as both CFO and CEO of several exciting tech companies and rocks both the financial and the technical side of the business. StockRepublic is lucky to have him!

“I was already following StockRepublic’s activities before I joined, and when I got the call from Fabian Grapengiesser, it was an easy decision to jump on board. The product is incredible, and the timing in the market is just right.

Though I love what I do, weekends are for family. We love to go boating, regardless of season, and to keep a sharp mind. I work at keeping fit. Of course, there are lazy evenings on the couch as well... at the moment, Succession is keeping me hooked with its excellent writing and many dramatic intrigues.”

Would you like to be Daniel’s colleague? We’re seeking new talent to join us on our mission to democratize finance.

The Swedish fintech company StockRepublic is raising new capital to accelerate its growth journey and expand the launch of the social trading platform for banks and partners globally. StockRepublic now receives 2 million EUR, and Commerzbank Group's early-stage investor enters as the lead investor. 

The investment round is led by the Swedish venture capital fund Uequity and Commerzbank Group's early-stage investor main incubator, together with well-known business angels with a background from, among others, E-Trade, Yubico, and Minna Technologies. In total, 2 million EUR is invested.

– Being able to follow other interesting investors, see how climate-friendly their portfolios are, and compare their own portfolios with others is exactly what the new generation of investors is asking for. In addition, they find the guidance needed in order to make well-grounded investment decisions. We are happy to support this paradigm shift through our investment, says Sebastian Scheib, investment manager at main incubator.

Björn Andersen, Head of Brokerage at Commerzbank's comdirect, adds:

– At comdirect, we strongly believe in StockRepublic’s vision of connecting retail trading with social features. It’s an expression of the current zeitgeist among young traders and demonstrates that social trading is going mainstream. Together with StockRepublic, we plan to make stock- and retail trading more accessible, social, and transparent, says Björn.

To accelerate this transition and launch StockRepublic widely to the new generation of investors, StockRebublic is currently conducting a proof of concept together with comdirect, which has just under three million customers. This proof of concept will give customers access to all social trading functions, mobile applications, web, and desktop.

With its B2B platform, StockRepublic targets banks and other financial players with the ambition of democratizing savings. With the help of real-time investment data, StockRepublic can offer unique access to data that, traditionally, savers are excluded from and get inspiration from star savers from several countries. The platform meets the needs of the new generation of investors, as well as the needs of banks that want to increase the commitment among their customers. StockRepublic can be easily implemented and linked to banks' and brokers' existing financial products.

There’s a reason that more investors today seek ways to generate positive environmental impact alongside a financial return. StockRepublic wants to address this by highlighting how climate-friendly their users' investments are and by providing concrete proposals on how to improve their CO2 impact right away. – Our vision is to gather all information in one place and contribute to more sustainable savings. This investment will help us continue the launch of our platform within banks and partners in several European countries, says Hanna Bjurström, Chairman of the Board of StockRepublic.
