Internal supervision

To ensure comprehensive oversight of DEGIRO’s operations, we have implemented a governance structure consisting of three tiers.

First and foremost, flatexDEGIRO Bank Dutch Branch has its own Branch Management. The Branch Management consists of five Branch Managers and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of DEGIRO. Within the Branch Management team there is a clear division of responsibilities, with each of the Branch Managers having their own focus points.

DEGIRO’s Branch Management reports to the Board of Directors of our German headquarters, flatexDEGIRO Bank AG. The bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for the day-to-day management and long-term strategy setting of the company as a whole. When it comes to setting the strategy of DEGIRO, the bank’s Board of Directors works in close cooperation with the Branch Management.

Finally, the bank’s Board of Directors is overseen by the bank’s Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board is responsible for supervising and advising the Board of Directors.

We believe that this governance structure is the most suitable setup to assure correct checks and balances within the DEGIRO and the rest of the company.
