Who is behind findependent?
Behind findependent is a dynamic team on a common mission to make investing and the associated benefits accessible to everyone, so that everyone can benefit from economic success.
The idea comes from Matthias Bryner, who founded the startup in June 2019. Having been an early employee at neon, he experienced firsthand how modern banking should work: simple, low-cost, transparent. It quickly became clear: Such a product is exactly what is missing when it comes to investing. Matthias wanted to change that and create a solution that he could recommend to all his friends with a clear conscience – understandable, without jargon, and with fair fees. Today, findependent is exactly that. And even more: As an account-holding securities firm, the fintech now manages its customers’ accounts and depots directly. This ensures that everything comes from a single source, without unnecessary detours through third-party banks. An app built for friends, for investors, and for anyone looking to take control of their financial future.
