Earlier this year, BUX launched fractional investing in various European indices such as the Netherlands’ AEX, Belgium’s BEL20, France’s CAC40 and Germany’s DAX40.

The fintech firm currently has operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, and Ireland.

Ninety Nine CEO and founder of Javier Sanz Álvarez said: “We have been working for over a year and a half on our B2B strategy, and while it was a difficult decision, we have decided to focus all our efforts on it.

“However, our clients are still very important to us so we have been working with BUX to provide them with a great alternative to continue investing, including two free shares as a welcome gift, free migration to the BUX platform, and fees almost 50% lower than current ones.”
