Trade Republic Appoints Luca Carabetta as Italy's Country Manager

Trade Republic, a leading European platform for saving and investing, appoints Luca Carabetta as the Country Manager for Italy, effective August 1, 2025. This strategic move follows the introduction of free current accounts with Italian IBANs in the country and the implementation of an automated tax system called ‘Regime Amministrato’ earlier this year, which has already attracted more than 500,000 customers in Italy.

With 100 billion euros in assets under management and over 8 million customers across Europe, Trade Republic is expanding its footprint in international markets. The appointment of Carabetta signifies a commitment to enhancing financial awareness and empowering Italians in managing their finances efficiently.

Carabetta's appointment is timely amidst Italy’s demographic challenges and pension concerns. He emphasizes the importance of personal savings and ETF-based investment plans in addressing the pension gap. Carabetta brings a wealth of experience from Italy's tech ecosystem and political landscape, aiming to make saving and investing more accessible for Italians.
