Peaks Named Best Rated Investment Platform in the Netherlands

What is the 'Gouden Stier' ?

Peaks stood on the winner’s podium yesterday – with a Gouden Stier (Golden Bull in English) in hand! This award is presented annually to investment companies that stand out the most in terms of price/quality ratio, expertise, and the user-friendliness of their website or app. We can now proudly call ourselves the Best Rated Investment Platform in the Netherlands.

The awards are presented by IEX, an independent platform by and for investors. Each year, IEX compiles a list of “Best Choices” across various categories: the top 10 highest-scoring investment companies or products according to investors in the Netherlands.

Peaks voted Best Investment Platform by 6,500 investors

In 2024, 6,600 investors participated in the survey. They rated Peaks as the best investment platform in the Netherlands. We scored by far the highest in the category of app user-friendliness.

A meaningful recognition

Winning the Gouden Stier is a fantastic acknowledgment of our daily work, in which we work hard to make Peaks the most loved investment app in Europe.

In 2024, we made significant strides toward that goal, including giving the Peaks app a completely new look and improved user experience. We also launched the PayDay Booster, which makes it effortless to invest a percentage of your income. The addition of a Business Investment and Savings Account allows business owners (like managing directors/shareholders) to invest through their company without any hassle.

Winning the Gouden Stier with a top score in app user-friendliness confirms to us that we’ve built something truly special together.

Peaks: for new and experienced investors

This recognition also shows that we're truly here for everyone. For beginners, who find an easy entry point into the world of investing with Peaks – and for experienced investors, for whom Peaks is the easiest way to invest in globally diversified ETFs at attractive costs.

Peaks CEO Tom Arends proudly responded to the award:

"Over the past year, we've taken important steps at Peaks. With a new look and our growing range of products, we’ve shown that Peaks has matured. We see the Golden Bull and the title of 'Best Rated Investment Platform' as a great confirmation that we’re on the right track and truly making investing accessible for everyone.”
