Getquin Review 2026: Still the Best “Free” Portfolio Tracker for European Investors?

I wrote my original Getquin review back in February 2022, when the platform was essentially a promising German startup with a clever social twist. Four years on, a lot has changed, and a fair bit hasn’t. I figured since things have changed not only for the company but also in the world AND the disclaimer at the top had been saying “an update is imminent” for over a year, it’s time to actually deliver on that promise. So without further ado: is Getquin still worth your time in 2026? Let me walk you through what’s the same, what’s improved, and where the gaps still hurt.

One of the biggest issues you can face as an investor is keeping track of your portfolio in a clear and intuitive way. Getquin, a European portfolio management (web)app, can help you with that.

This effectively reduces the appeal of the cards and the CRO ecosystem considerably. The below experiences are based on everything before this cut.

With over 12 months of use with my crypto.com Visa debit card, I figured I’d share my experience with everyone.
For myself, this card has been an excellent addition to my credit cards. I improve my portfolio without doing anything thanks to the cashback this crypto card provides.

When my wife wants to receive from or transfer money to her family in her home country, it typically happens through Western Union as that is the most known way. But is it the best way? And if not, which European alternative is better? Wise (formerly known as TransferWise), Revolut or Monese?

Book review: “The marvelous simplicity of index investing” by Jacques Wintermans

Thanks to a three week Christmas holiday I finally had the time to do some reading. Of the four books I choose to read in these next three weeks, the first one that I wanted to get my teeth in was the Dutch book “De schitterende eenvoud van indexbeleggen: wat de banken u niet vertellen” which loosely translates to “The marvelous simplicity of index investing: what the banks don’t tell you” written by Mr. Jacques Wintermans.
