Proof of Address process spoils signup

So far the only problem I had was the nightmarish signup process as an expat, which gave me a taste of Scalable Capital's customer service. Going through the identification process is one thing (still, less smooth than for locals) but the real challenge begins once you are asked to go through the 'Proof of address' process. This only affects expats who don't have citizenship and as a result no local ID in the country where they signed up for Scalable Capital.. for me the process involved uploading three different documents and the waiting time between each upload took multiple days. As a result, my onboarding process took 11 days. After this, getting started with my account and migrating my assets was a surprisingly smooth experience.

Excellent onboarding

Easy onboarding by showing I'd card at post office. Easy to purchase etfs and stocks in euros.

Disappointing decline in customer service

I have been a Scalable Capital customer for several years. One of the main reasons I chose the platform was the quality of its customer service, as I could easily reach a support representative whenever I needed assistance.

Recently, I contacted customer support to resolve an issue and was directed to the AI chatbot. In my case, the chatbot was unable to resolve my problem. Instead, it generated a suggested email for me to send to customer support, so I still had to contact them by email to seek assistance.

Compared with my earlier experiences, I found the support process much less helpful. When dealing with investments, I value being able to speak with a person when an issue cannot be resolved automatically. Based on this experience, I no longer have the same confidence in the level of customer support that originally led me to choose Scalable Capital.

No response, no support — time to move on

Requested a financial status through the app — it never arrived. Retried a few times and got locked out with a "daily limit of requests reached" error, so now I can't even try again.
On top of that, reaching a real human was unnecessarily hard. The in-app chatbot kept blocking me from getting to customer service, and only let me through after I explicitly said it was urgent. For a financial provider, this is not acceptable. One star.
To make matters worse, customer service never replied. The lesson I learned today: move away from Scalable Capital quickly — because what if this had been a serious matter that needed immediate customer support?

It is very good, but could not find some info in the application

All is good so far. I like using as well as the application on Android and the browser version. I could easily find documents for Steuererklärung, that's nice. What I could not find in the application, is that information about average price of purchase of some stocks. I guess it is called Durchschnittlicher Kaufpreis auf Deutsch. I would like to have it, if it not yet available. For example I buy stocks at different prices today at 100 euro, tomorrow 50, then after some time at 70. So I would like to have an average price of all these purchases. Thanks.

Customer Support doesn't exist

Customer Support doesn't exist. Just an AI chat that does absolutely nothing. I fully stopped trusting this platform after realizing I put my money where there's nobody to help in case of problem. I'll move away as soon as possible.

No customer service

Until everything is going well it’s good but I have to point out that there is absolutely no customer support as such. Telephone line is useless it loops through and says we have limited capacity. Chat function is ChatGPT not connected to any system which can give actual information. They also do not answer email. So think about the future issues and avoid this broker because if you have a problem you hit the wall.

Onboarding & Cash Transaction Detail

The onboarding took over a month although I had the documents submitted.

Once I was online I could see that the incoming cash transactions would not show the sender or the sender's account number or bank. I think this is very poor for the real time transactions and should be standard (it is in all the competing online banks).

Hello Marc,
thank you for your review. We regret that you had an unsatisfactory experience. Due to an increased volume, there may unfortunately be delays in processing inquiries at the moment. Our customer service team will process requests as quickly and efficiently as possible. As deposits and withdrawals can only be made from your own designated account, there is no need to specify the sender or the bank. Also we already offer some real-time transfers. Transfers between clearing accounts (internal transfers) take place in real time between Scalable accounts. The same applies to deposits. Withdrawals to your designated account usually take one to two banking days.

The app is too basic but i need to suggest some features which would make this app better
1) I request scalable capital to add "modify feature" in the app after placing trades
2) I want scalable capital to add "sell all" feature to sell all my holdings at once instead of selling one by one

Happy with the new Scalable Capital (post Badder)

The new SC after migrating from Badder bank to their own infrastructure has been very good. The service is more responsive and money transfers are now instantaneous. The new option to move money internally between accounts is also a huge time saver, in the past you would need to transfer out and then back in.
