PRO account

It is an account for professional traders, which meet some exact requirements established by ESMA.

Investment account

This is a completely separate broker offer that allows you to invest in ETF portfolios or dynamic investment strategies. Access to the account can be obtained by completing the appropriate questionnaire in the customer panel.
