@TradingHase I don't think Trade Republic is as bad as it is often portrayed here, but probably everyone has different requirements and needs for their bank/broker. Trade Republic is particularly interesting for me because it is the only tax-free neo broker in Austria. Furthermore, I like to use the card with the round up and safe back

@Iwamoto OK, I didn't know that there were differences to Austria.
In general, TR wasn't bad, but the support got me extremely upset several times and then the chaos that TR caused with the "split" from BYD. I was no longer interested in TR.

@Iwamoto TR is also great in itself. Never had any problems there from 2021 to 2025. In June 2024, however, they completely fired and outsourced their support and since then it's really no longer usable. As long as you don't need anything and nothing happens in your depot - it's all good. But I myself experienced it first-hand when I had to wait 5 months for a securities account transfer and was simply completely ignored in the meantime. They only respond to BaFin complaints. Or ask @lawinvest how well it went with the blocked deposit. I'll be glad when my odyssey with them is finally over and I have my money back in my own hands.

A question for the Austrians among you:
I have often heard that you can "lend" shares in order to generate additional income through options.
Is this also possible with Austrian brokers?

@Iwamoto I use Freedom24, where you can certainly also open a custody account from Austria.
