Amsterdam, 24 July 2023 - bunq, the second largest neobank in the EU, secures an additional €44.5M in growth capital, bringing the total capital injected into bunq this year to nearly €100M. This fresh capital allows the mobile bank to further accelerate its international expansion and continue its rapid growth.
