Overview

Climb is a French fintech that helps individuals manage money, invest, and optimize taxes through a digital platform with advisory support. It blends technology with human financial advisors to provide financial planning, wealth management, and tax services; users access it for free and earnings come from commissions on client investments via partner institutions. The platform offers life insurance, PER retirement plans, ETFs, SCPI real estate funds, rental property investments, plus tax filing and optimization support, aiming to simplify complex finances.
