1.800 millones de Euros invertidos y 20 bancos colaboradores

Berlin, 27 de septiembre 2016 – Tan sólo 5 meses despúes de ser la primera FinTech de inversión europea en alcanzar los 1.000 millones de Euros, Raisin anuncia que que esta cantidad ha llegado hasta los 1.700 millones. A fecha de hoy y gracias a las diferentes plataformas mediante las que opera en toda la Unión Europea, con más de 50.000 clientes que han confiado en Raisin y han invertido esta cantidad en uno de los bancos colaboradores de Raisin.

“Raisin is not just one of the few truly pan-European startups, but also the only European startup on the investment side to have reached the amount of EUR 1.7 billion invested – 5 months faster than Betterment and Wealthfront – the only other two investment FinTechs to have made it into multi-billion asset size” declares Dr. Tamaz Georgadze co-founder and CEO of Raisin. He continues that “Achieving the second billion is now in very close reach and we expect to reach it before the year is over. Reaching the second billion is definitely easier than the first”.

This landmark amount does not only represent a tremendous business success for Raisin. It also translates to Raisin customers earning more than five-fold the interest they would have earned if they had invested at average interest rates since the launch of services. Raisin savers thus gain a significant upside in today’s low interest rate environment.

Reaching this milestone also coincides with a second important milestone for Raisin as today its 20th partner bank joined the platform: Haitong Bank from Lisbon.
Haitong Bank is a Portuguese subsidiary of Haitong Securities, founded in 1988 and counting over 340 subsidiaries, 7.7 million private clients and more than 24,000 institutional and private banking clients in Greater China. In addition to the Chinese market Haitong has a particular focus on the markets in Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Brazil, USA and India. “We are very proud of this new cooperation and to have such a renowned partner as our 20th partner bank.” said Dr. Tamaz Geordgaze.

Incumbent banks continue to offer either zero-rate offers to their customers or recently even launched efforts to charge negative rates to their SME and retail clientele. In this environment Raisin and its partner banks continue to provide savers across Europe with attractive and exclusive offers for their savings.
