flatexDEGIRO expands Group Management Board and appoints Jens Möbitz as Chief Operating Officer effective January 1, 2026

• Expansion of the Group Management Board from three to four members
• Möbitz to be responsible for banking operations and IT

Effective January 1, 2026, flatexDEGIRO, one of Europe's leading platforms for building wealth, appoints Jens Möbitz (49) to the Management Board of flatexDEGIRO AG. Möbitz, who has held various management positions within the group for almost 25 years, will be responsible for Banking Operations and IT as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of flatexDEGIRO AG. Möbitz already heads both departments on the Management Board of the group's own flatexDEGIRO Bank AG, which he joined in September 2023.

Hans-Hermann Lotter, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of flatexDEGIRO AG, said: "The operational and technical excellence of our platform is a central component of our value proposition. The bundling of expertise in the areas of reliability, security and efficiency in one Management Board department strengthens our customer-focused development. This allows us to sharpen our focus on continuous product innovation and the successful harmonization of our platforms. I am delighted that Jens Möbitz, an experienced and valued manager, is now taking on responsibility at Group Management Board level."

With the expansion of the Group Management Board and the appointment of Jens Möbitz, flatexDEGIRO responds to its successful growth and already anticipates the merger of flatexDEGIRO AG and flatexDEGIRO Bank AG, which is planned for 2026/2027.

Jens Möbitz trained as a banker and then worked for several years as a portfolio manager for Deutsche Bank and Schnigge Vermögensverwaltung before taking over as head of product and project management at XCOM AG in 2001, a provider of e-banking and trading solutions that has since been integrated into the flatexDEGIRO Group.

The Management Board of flatexDEGIRO AG also includes Oliver Behrens (CEO), Dr. Benon Janos (CFO), and Christiane Strubel (CHRO).
