I’ve tried a lot of financial products and services over the years. On this page, I’ll share the the ones that stuck.
Some of the links are referral links and we’ll both earn rewards if you use them to sign up.
Interactive Brokers
A publicly traded company with branches in multiple countries, offering competitive fees and variety of products. I’ve used 5 other brokers for investing in the stock market and chose IBKR as my main (and only) one.

Kraken
A US based crypto exchange operating globally, has proof of reserves, and 24/7 live customer support. It never hurts to have accounts with a few more exchanges, but Kraken is my main one.

TradeRepublic Savings Account
I don’t use it as a broker, but they currently offer the highest interest rates on liquid $EUR (3.25%), so I park my profits there. Plus, a debit card for spending directly from the balance with 1% cashback.

Wise
A good option for extra bank accounts in various currencies, international payments, and a Mastercard for spending your balance.

Revolut
I barely use it as the benefits are better with the other services, but it’s always good to have an additional free bank account and a debit card.
