Choose from a wide range
You’ll find over 3,000 products in the BUX app, including ETFs and European & American shares. Search by country, theme and provider, or look at the most popular products. You can also make fractional investments in some shares and ETFs. This means you don’t buy a whole ETF or share, but just a part of it.
Build up your portfolio month by month
Want to build up your capital step by step? Draw up your own Investment Plan in 3 simple steps, or choose a ready-made Investment Plan. You can then invest a fixed amount every month. If you invest with BUX Prime, you can choose a plan drawn up by experts.

ABN AMRO
At ABN AMRO, depending on the investment option you choose, you have a more extensive range of both complex and non-complex products. These include investment funds, ETFs, shares, bonds and options.
