flatexDEGIRO has initiated the process to have Prof. Dr. Katrin Lohr judicially appointed as a new member of its Supervisory Board. The expected judicial appointment will remain in effect until the Annual General Meeting in June 2027, at which she should be nominated for election. The move was announced by the Frankfurt-based brokerage platform, which serves more than 3.5 million customers across 16 countries.
Prof. Dr. Lohr is a recognized expert in finance, corporate governance, and accounting. Her qualifications for serving on the supervisory board are also reflected in her “Qualified Supervisory Board Member” and “Specialized Supervisory Board Member - Financial Expert” certifications from Deutsche Borse. As a professor of business administration, specializing in accounting and finance, she combines academic expertise with many years of practical experience in financial and regulatory matters. Her professional expertise and her long-standing involvement with issues of corporate governance, financial reporting, and financial education make her a valuable addition to the flatexDEGIRO Supervisory Board.
In addition to her academic work, Prof. Dr. Lohr has been committed to strengthening financial literacy in Germany for many years. In various volunteer roles, she works to enhance the public’s understanding of financial matters and promote personal wealth accumulation. This aligns with flatexDEGIRO’s ambition of being Europe’s leading platform for securities trading and building wealth. The company holds more than EUR 100 billion in assets under custody and executed more than 75 million securities transactions for its customers in 2025.
“We are extremely pleased that Katrin Lohr has agreed to serve as a financial expert on the flatexDEGIRO Supervisory Board. With her, we are gaining a highly qualified and independent individual with proven expertise in the areas of accounting, corporate governance, and financial education. She will enrich our board with her experience and insights and constructively support the further development of our company,” said Stefan Muller, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of flatexDEGIRO.
The appointment comes as flatexDEGIRO continues to expand its proprietary technology across the entire value chain, delivering exceptionally high platform availability and setting industry standards for platform and service quality. Through its three brokerage platforms, DEGIRO, flatex and ViTrade, flatexDEGIRO provides access to trading on around 50 exchanges across Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) trading.

The appointment of Prof. Dr. Lohr brings independent financial expertise to flatexDEGIRO’s supervisory board at a time when the company is scaling its operations across Europe. Her background in corporate governance and financial reporting could enhance the board’s oversight as flatexDEGIRO navigates an evolving regulatory landscape for securities trading and wealth management. For customers and investors, the addition signals a continued focus on robust governance and financial education, which may reinforce trust in the platform’s execution-only model. As flatexDEGIRO pursues its goal of being Europe’s leading platform for securities trading and wealth building, having a certified financial expert on the board could support strategic decisions related to product expansion, technology investments, and regulatory compliance.
