Nick Bortot

Nick is the founder and CEO of BUX, a fintech company that aims to open the world of finance by offering a single destination for everyone who wants to do more with their money. BUX makes it easy and affordable for people to participate in the financial markets through its mobile apps for commission-free investing. In 2000, Nick helped found BinckBank where he became a board member and grew the company to a market value of more than a billion with over half a million customers. In 2012, Nick stepped down to launch BUX. Since launching in 2014, BUX has made the markets accessible for nearly 2.5 million users across 9 countries in Europe. Nick argues that only technology has the power to open up closed-off markets and through technology, we can enable people to invest their money independently. He has made it his mission to empower young people all over Europe to take their future into their own hands by becoming Europe’s market leader in mobile brokerage.
