Frankfurt/Cologne, November 07, 2019  - The Cologne based FinTech nextmarkets, a portfolio company of FinLab AG (ISIN: DE0001218063; Ticker: A7A.GR), announces the market launch of its new trading platform. The new generation of their app adds many new innovative features for the customers. Stocks, commodities, indices and cryptos can now be traded "long" and "short" without leverage. Equity long positions can be traded without additional financing costs or other fees with standard exchange spreads. In addition, fractions of shares can now be traded. Zero-commission trading in equities, ETFs and structured products will be possible in a few weeks.

 For nextmarkets, however, the step into further asset classes is not the only product expansion. In addition to the current trading license, the FinTech, in which Peter Thiel, among others, has also invested, has now received permission to provide portfolio management services and is therefore entitled to offer an integrated digital asset management product.

There is also an exciting, albeit simple, solution when it comes to security that guarantees customers even more security in the future. The Authada identification solution is now, among other things, digital identification at nextmarkets. All you need to confirm your identity is an electronic ID card, the corresponding PIN and an NFC-enabled smartphone. The account opening process is considerably accelerated and can now be completed within a few seconds.

Many more product features will be released in the coming weeks. These include a new iPad app and a revised desktop version of the trading platform.
