Guide
Depot export at German brokers: an overview
One table for the broker export guides on this site. It says what each guide documents, nothing more.
Published 9 October 2026 · By The Acutic Research Team
Short answer
Of the seven routes below, four produce CSV (comdirect, Interactive Brokers, Scalable Capital, Trade Republic) and three rely on Wertpapierabrechnung PDFs (DKB, flatex, ING). Where the export sits differs too: Trade Republic in the app only, Scalable Capital in the web client area only.
Export routes by broker
| Broker | File type | Where to find it | How far back | Steps verified | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| comdirect | CSV (two formats: account transactions and Depot transactions); PDF (Finanzreport) | Persönlicher Bereich or app: Konto & Karte > Umsätze, “Export als csv” at the end of the page; Finanzreporte in the Postbox | 540 days in the online search; older entries via the Finanzreporte | Full guide | |
| DKB | PDF (Wertpapierabrechnung); the CSV export covers account transactions, not the Depot | Postfach: app under Profil > Postfach; web banking via the envelope icon next to the profile | Most documents up to ten years; documents from before the early-2025 Postfach change under “Archivierte Dokumente”, with no time limit | Full guide | |
| flatex | PDF (Wertpapierabrechnung); no comprehensive CSV export | Dokumentenarchiv (Postbox) via the “Post” section of the web platform; Postfach in flatex next | Back to account opening via “Individueller Zeitraum”; about 100 documents shown per query | Full guide | |
| ING | PDF (Wertpapierabrechnung); the CSV export covers account transactions, not the Direkt-Depot | Post-Box in web banking (also reachable in the app) | About the last three years shown directly; older documents in the Post-Box archive, depot documents retrievable for up to ten years | Full guide | |
| Interactive Brokers | CSV, XML, text (pipe or tab) via a Flex Query | Client Portal: Performance & Reports > Flex Queries | One run covers at most 365 days; custom-date reports reach back four previous calendar years plus the current one | Full guide | |
| Scalable Capital | CSV (transaction export); no native holdings export | Web client area only, not the app: Broker > Transactions > “Export CSV” | The history held in the client area; see the guide for the December 2025 platform move | Full guide | |
| Trade Republic | CSV (transaction export, securities and cash account in one file) | App only: profile > Account statements > Transaction export > Share | Back to the start of the account; the period is selectable | Full guide |
How to read this table
Each row restates what the linked guide documents, and the “Steps verified” date is the date recorded for that guide. Broker menus change, so the guide and the broker’s own help pages come first. Rows are in alphabetical order; the order is not a ranking, and the table makes no statement about which broker is better.
