===Poor customer support and app experience===

Users have criticized Trade Republic's slow and inadequate customer support. The support is an app-integrated chatbot that users find vague and unhelpful. Users with login issues cannot get help, as the chatbot is only available for logged in users, and no email address or phone number is available for support. The unavailable support is especially inconvenient for users who need to make timely financial decisions, like selling assets or withdrawing money. Additionally, the app's calculation of tax, fees and dividends is known to be inaccurate.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trade Republic Erfahrungen [Trade Republic Experiences] |url=https://www.finanzfluss.de/anbieter/trade-republic/erfahrungen/ |access-date=2026-01-01 |website=Finanzfluss}}</ref>
