Shine Germany GmbH is described in Wikidata as a German company of Shine Group for the Kontist banking app and technical services. Kontist is a banking solution created for the self-employed in Germany, and since 2022 it has been part of Ageras, an umbrella group of brands.

Kontist was created as a banking solution for the self-employed in Germany, a market where, according to the company, no banking products were specifically tailored to freelancers. The team began as a group of current and former freelancers. Chris Plantener, CEO from 2016 to 2022, had heard feedback from the growing freelance community in Germany at his previous company Debitoor, an accounting software for SMEs and freelancers. After attempts to convince traditional banks to develop products for the self-employed were unsuccessful, he assembled a team of current and former freelancers from around the world to create the first banking solution exclusively for the self-employed. In 2022, Kontist became part of Ageras, an umbrella group of brands. Shine Germany GmbH is described as a German company of Shine Group for the Kontist banking app and technical services.

Banking products tailored to the needs of freelancers and the self-employed in Germany.
