Trading platforms
DKB BrokerDKB App · DKB Web Banking
DKB offers the DKB App and DKB Web Banking as trading platforms. The DKB App combines banking and brokerage in one application, enabling mobile trading with price queries and order placement. DKB Web Banking provides a clear portfolio view with basic chart functions and order masks. The platforms are designed more for ease of use than advanced analysis. Standard order types such as limit and market are supported, while professional trading tools are lacking.
Explore platformPostbankPostbank Web · Postbank App
Postbank offers its customers two trading platforms: Postbank Web and the Postbank App. The web platform enables classic securities trading through the browser with order placement, portfolio overview, and price queries. The mobile app provides the same basic functions on the go. Both platforms are functional but visually and technically less advanced compared to modern neobrokers. However, for savings plan users and occasional investors, the features are entirely sufficient.
