Nick Bortot, member of the board BinckBank
"With our simple and competitive fees in combination with a tailored product and an outstanding service we expect to be in a position in which we also will grow in Italy. Despite the challenging circumstances on financial markets."

Competitive but simple fee with a unique saving element
The fee structure is competitive and basically simple. All transaction fees start at
€ 11,- and will be lowered in relation to increased activity. Next to this investors receive interest on their accounts. Unique is the combination that an increased activity provides also a higher interest rate which is in a range of 2% minimum and 5% maximum.

Product fully tuned to the needs of Italian investors
BinckBank operates from its office in Milan with Italian employees and applies its well proven success factors: low fees, qualitative high level platform and extremely client
oriented service. The website is in Italian and clients are able to chose from products that are often invested in, on all leading Euro stock exchanges amongst which NYSE
Euronext and Eurex and all leading American exchanges. Investors open an account that is supervised by local authorities and that applies to local fiscal law.

All services mentiond above are availabe to a limited group of Italian retail investors. They will test the products to the smallest detail to realise our ambition of offering the best product tailored to the requirements of the Italian investor. In the autumn of 2012 a fullscale launch is planned.
