Fintech Nuri gets nine million euros
Following the relaunch of Bitwala, Nuri receives a new round of financing. The aim is now to address a broader target group.
Berlin-based fintech Nuri has raised a new round of investment following its relaunch. The start-up, which was known as Bitwala until a month ago, has received nine million euros. In May, CEO Kristina Walcker-Mayer announced that it was time for a change of strategy.
The money comes from the existing state investor Coparion and the new investor, VC DIP Capital from London, reports Finance Forward. The start-up is thus expanding its 15 million round from last winter. Nuri offers an account from which you can invest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. The account runs via the fintech Solarisbank.
"To make blockchain products and services accessible to more people, you need a brand and user experience that is inclusive and appeals to a diverse target group. Our new Nuri brand and the revamped customer experience form the basis for many more innovative products and functions that we will be offering our customers in the coming months and years," says Walcker-Mayer.
