Peaks named ‘Best-Rated Investment Platform’ for second year running

What is a Golden Bull?

The Golden Bulls (Gouden Stieren) are the most prestigious awards in the Dutch investment world. They are presented by IEX Media, the largest investment platform in the Netherlands. Each year, IEX researches which providers excel in value for money, expertise, and user-friendliness. For the ‘Best-Rated Investment Platform’ category, the consumer’s verdict is the deciding factor.

Voice of 8,700 investors

This year’s survey was larger than ever, with no fewer than 8,700 Dutch investors sharing their opinions. To emerge as the winner once again is a huge honour. Just like last year, we achieved the highest score by a significant margin for ‘app user-friendliness’.

Recognition for accessibility

According to investors, winning the title of ‘Best-Rated Investment Platform’ for the second time is primarily down to our commitment to ease of use. We continued to work hard on this throughout 2025. A few highlights include:

• Launch of a full web portal. Depositing, withdrawing, choosing a portfolio, or adjusting your strategy: it can now all be done from your computer. Furthermore, the web portal makes it very easy to find all your documents, such as your annual statement for tax returns.

• Website accessibility. We’ve made Peaks.com fully accessible for visitors with disabilities.

• A refreshed, education-focused blog. We’ve updated the Peaks blog to ensure both 'Peakers' and non-Peakers always have access to clear, easy-to-understand information about investing.

‘Encouragement to keep going’

Tom Arends, our CEO and founder, is naturally delighted with the second Golden Bull. ‘Receiving the highest rating from Dutch investors for the second year in a row is fantastic recognition of our efforts over the past year. It’s also a wonderful encouragement to continue with our mission: making investing truly simple for everyone.’
