Onvista

Germany’s Online Broker Pioneer

The onvista Group is the leading platform for financial news and information in Germany. Its full subsidiary onvista Bank GmbH operates as an online broker, while its onvista Media GmbH combines the distribution and marketing of independent information on financial markets. Founded in 1998, onvista announced its IPO in 2000 at Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The issuance of onvista shares was 80 times oversubscribed. After a trade sale to the French online broker Boursorama S.A. in 2007, the German Comdirect Bank AG acquired onvista Group in 2016. “As one of the early digital pioneers, onvista is an impressive example of how providing necessary information can not only be turned into an IPO, but also into a nine-figure success story.” – Paul-Bernhard Kallen (Managing Partner, Acton Capital)
