bunq, the second largest neobank in Europe, expands its investment product to Ireland. Stocks, tailored for digital nomads, now allows Irish users to easily invest in a selection of the most popular US and European stocks and ETFs. This move comes as bunq actively gains traction in Ireland, after having tripled its user base in the country this year.
bunq Stocks gives Irish digital nomads the freedom to invest on the go. With an investment account opened within seconds and the ability to trade in fractional shares as low as €10, Stocks allows Irish investors to quickly build a diverse portfolio of the most successful global companies and trade for free in the first three months.
Ireland has emerged as a key market for bunq since 2023 when the company introduced a 10 times higher interest rate on savings than that offered by Irish traditional banks. With Ireland now being the third largest deposit holding market for the neobank, bunq continues to invest in its local presence by hiring for almost 20 new roles in Ireland in 2024. Ireland’s vibrant tech scene and the country being in the top 20 most popular destinations for digital nomads worldwide make it one of the most promising markets for bunq.
Bianca Zwart, bunq’s Chief Strategy Officer, said: “Digital nomads need an investment product that keeps pace with their global lifestyle. With Stocks, our users can effortlessly buy shares of the world’s most exciting companies and ETFs for as little as €10, no matter where they are in the world.”
