The investment round will support the startup’s current growth phase as it plans to launch an ethical neobank on its platform in the near future, allowing users to fulfill their banking and investing needs all on one super-app, without compromising on their values.

Its digital tools have enormous potential to make the world of finance more accessible to those previously excluded. I look forward to contributing to its long-term growth.”
