Lynx Broker Czech Republic

What Lynx Broker Czech Republic does

Lynx Broker Czech Republic is the Czech branch of LYNX B.V., a Netherlands-headquartered online broker founded in 2006 that operates as an introducing broker to Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited for order execution, custody, and clearing. The company entered the Czech market in 2013 and runs a regional hub in Prague (LYNX B.V., organizační složka) serving clients in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, alongside European offices in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Ghent. The platform exposes clients to more than 100 markets in over 30 countries across 20 currencies, with trading in stocks, options, futures, ETFs, forex, penny stocks, and CFDs.

The technology stack is hybrid: LYNX+ is LYNX's proprietary web-based platform (launched 2026) with TradingView-integrated charting, portfolio analytics, and an order-entry UI; the professional-grade Trader Workstation (TWS) is Interactive Brokers' desktop platform re-served to LYNX clients, providing 120+ technical indicators, 60+ order types, and specialized tools (ChartTrader, BookTrader, OptionTrader, ComboTrader, FXTrader, Market Scanner); and a native mobile app for iOS/Android with proprietary LYNX Key two-factor authentication. The firm's differentiation versus a direct IB relationship is localization (Czech-language interface, support, educational content), regional client service (phone, email, live chat), a dedicated LYNX Pro B2B division with account managers for institutional clients, and an extensive content-marketing engine (investment portal, webinars, podcasts, newsletters). No public API is exposed; TradingView is the only named third-party integration beyond Interactive Brokers.

Revenue is generated on a commission / transaction-fee basis across all product categories, supplemented by margin lending and securities lending activity routed through Interactive Brokers. The go-to-market is dual: direct-to-consumer self-service onboarding via lynxbroker.cz for active retail investors, and inside/field sales for LYNX Pro serving corporate clients, independent asset managers, hedge funds, and investment funds. The firm claims 65,000+ investors and 300+ employees across Europe, is supervised by the Czech National Bank (ČNB), GDPR-compliant, and aligned with EN 301 549 accessibility standards.

Direct peers

• Trading 212: UK-headquartered zero-commission retail broker offering stocks, ETFs, forex and CFDs across European markets including localized support. Comparable discount/online brokerage for self-directed retail investors competing on price.
• eToro: Multi-asset online broker with social/copy-trading features, offering stocks, ETFs, forex and CFDs across European markets. Comparable as an online retail broker targeting active self-directed investors with a digital self-service model.
• XTB: Polish-headquartered online broker offering stocks, ETFs, forex, and CFDs across European markets with localized interfaces in CEE languages. Directly comparable as a discount online retail broker in the same regional footprint with similar active-investor target market.
• DEGIRO: European discount online broker offering access to global exchanges with low-cost commission pricing across stocks, ETFs, options, and futures. Closely comparable business model serving self-directed retail investors across European markets.

Regional players

• Patria Finance: Czech brokerage and investment banking firm offering trading and asset management services to retail and institutional clients in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Comparable as a regional broker operating in the same Czech/Slovak market with both retail and B2B segments.
• Fio banka: Czech bank and brokerage offering stock trading and investment services to retail and SME clients primarily in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Comparable as a local brokerage serving the same Czech active-investor customer base with localized service.

Broad incumbents

• Interactive Brokers: Global multi-asset broker that provides the execution, custody, and clearing infrastructure underlying LYNX's offering. Comparable as the underlying institutional broker but operates as a broad incumbent with its own direct-to-consumer retail platform (IBKR), making it both a partner and a competitor.
• Saxo Bank: Danish multi-asset broker offering SaxoTraderGO/SaxoTraderPRO platforms with access to 60+ exchanges globally. Comparable multi-asset online brokerage focus with both retail and institutional clients, though at a higher-end positioning than LYNX.
• Robinhood: US-headquartered zero-commission online retail broker with multi-asset trading and a mobile-first platform. Comparable in business model as a discount online retail broker serving self-directed active investors, though geographically distinct and broader in scope.

Emerging players

• Revolut (Trading): European super-app expanding into commission-free stock, ETF and commodities trading with rapid customer growth across CEE markets. Comparable as an emerging digital broker targeting retail investors but with a broader financial-services ecosystem.
