Berlin, Dusseldorf New trouble for the online broker Flatexdegiro: The financial regulator Bafin is checking whether the Frankfurt fintech company has fulfilled its obligations to publish price-sensitive information. According to Handelsblatt information, there are three cases in which the broker listed in the SDax could not have informed its investors sufficiently.

On request, the Bafin announced that it would not comment on specific cases. However, a spokeswoman emphasized that the authority “always” follows up on indications of violations of the ad hoc obligation. In the event of violations, it can impose fines.
