Industry Mainstay

Bux is a verified, major European neobroker with significant traction (500k+ clients, acquired by ABN AMRO for €68M in 2023). While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and reach, the specific submission provided was of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking data. However, external verification confirms the project's 'Much Larger Scale' status, justifying a high score despite the poor entry effort.
