# Scalable Capital Becomes First European Bank to Enable AI-Powered Trading via ChatGPT and Claude

> Scalable Capital, a German brokerage with millions of users, says it is the first European bank to let customers trade through mainstream AI assistants. Starting in late August, users can connect ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok to their accounts and ask the assistant to execute trades, set up savings plans, build watchlists, or fire off price alerts in plain language. The plumbing here is the Model Context Protocol, the emerging standard that lets AI models securely reach into outside services, and Scalable lets people restrict each API key by IP address or expiration date to limit the damage if something goes wrong. That combination of agentic convenience and real money is the whole story. Handing a chatbot the ability to move your portfolio is a genuine leap in trust, and regulators and customers alike will be watching how the guardrails hold. It is also a preview of where consumer finance is heading, as banks race to become endpoints that assistants can act on rather than apps you open yourself.
