Established in 1995, the company operates the leading finance portal in France www.boursorama.com as well as the online bank Boursorama Banque (www.boursorama-banque.com). In Germany, Boursorama has been active with the online broker Fimatex since 1997. According to its own statements, the French company plans to closely interlink the online broker Fimatex and the ad-sponsored OnVista finance portal in the medium term. The company expects the strong OnVista brand undisputed market leader for many years in the German speaking region to generate significantly greater awareness for German activities on the whole.
