82
Founded 2014 in Vienna; 7.4M registered users (2025), profitable (adjusted revenue EUR 371M, 2025); EU/DACH retail-broker model outside the global top-20 spot volume. Publishes no public incident-history page — the absence of recorded incidents is partly an absence of records.

Not investment advice. Skontro is not a CASP under MiCAR. Reliability Scores are information, not recommendations: every negative datapoint is dated and sourced, the methodology is public, and no exchange can pay to change a score.
