Yesterday I ordered my securities account transfer from Consorsbank to TradeRepublic.

A few considerations prompted me to do this.

Savings plans are free of charge (may change)

Savings plans can be executed weekly. (At Consorsbank only monthly. But you can trigger one-off payments on certain days of the month. I have not yet found out whether this is possible with TR)

the roundup and the cashback of the debit card are very interesting. Provided you consistently pay by card. But I am a person who prefers to pay small amounts in cash. Not least so that small businesses (bakeries etc.) don't have to pay the fees. I don't care about larger sums). I tried out the card today with 2 really small purchases. Together they brought 43 cents.

TR works with the Finanzguru app, but not properly with Getquin (so far), maybe there's still something going on, it's supposed to have something to do with an API. No plan.

1 Euro per order

3.25% from tomorrow 3% on the cash balance. Three times as much at ConsorsBank.

I am convinced of the concept after a lot of research on the net.

The process was really simple. I was able to apply for the transfer directly online at ConsorsBank. However, only whole items can be transferred, but that should be known.

The full units of ETFs and shares were booked out of the custody account 10 minutes after the order was sent.

The sale of the partial units was free of charge. But it took a little while.

But I also knew that thanks to the WWW.

For the time being, the sum from the parts remains in the clearing account for the advance lump sum.

Now I have to wait until the deposit has been transferred. I'm also curious to see whether the tax documents and the loss pots will be transferred.

I think everyone feels a little queasy when their securities are flying around in orbit somewhere.

I'll keep you posted on how long it took and so on.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Carsten

Created without A.I. but certainly with errors :-)

Update:

16.12.24 Transfer requested

Something is happening 17.12.24 I would not have expected that

WOW the first papers are arriving at TR.

$O (+1,22 %)

$NVDA (+2,01 %)

$NKE (-6,85 %)

$TDIV (+0,29 %)

$QBTS (+2,85 %) (first test purchase at TR)

Update: 18.12.24

All items have been transferred to TR. And that within two days. I don't think it could be faster.

Now we just have to wait and see if and when the cost prices are updated.

Greetings

Fed interest rate decision in focus + New Nike CEO must turn the tide + Berenberg raises target for Rheinmetall to EUR 750 (655) to BUY

The DAX continued its upward trend last week, reaching another record high last Friday. However, investors are likely to hold back on new investments in the coming week: In addition to the Fed's interest rate decision on Wednesday, the witches' Sabbath is due on Friday.

Nike $NKE (-6,85 %)delivers figures on Thursday

The world's number one sneaker manufacturer currently has plenty of construction sites, which are likely to be reflected in the results for the second quarter. It is eagerly awaited how quickly Nike veteran Elliott Hill, who returned as CEO in mid-October, can turn things around. And how he intends to do this. Brand desirability has suffered in comparison to competitors - even smaller ones - partly because Nike has recently focused little on innovation. Wholesale has also been neglected with the focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales. The group must "work hard to win back the customers it has lost to companies such as On, Adidas, New Balance and Hoka", and a turnaround under a new CEO could take longer than the market anticipates, according to the Jefferies analysts. Adidas in particular has recently caught up in Nike's US home market. >>> Thursday, December 19, 2024; 22:15

Berenberg raises target for Rheinmetall $RHM (-0,78 %)to EUR 750 (655) and BUY

The private bank Berenberg has raised its target price for Rheinmetall from EUR 655 to EUR 750 and left its rating at "Buy". Following his analysis of the current order situation in the defense sector, expert George McWhirter believes that the Düsseldorf-based company can achieve average growth of 24 percent per annum until 2027 in the base scenario. Rheinmetall is excellently positioned for the armaments cycle in Europe, he wrote in his assessment published on Monday. The potential would increase if Germany and NATO were to increase their budgets.
