Trade Republic co-founder Christian Hecker said that the proceed from the funding will enable the company to “invest strongly into technology.”
Hecker said: “With Ontario Teachers’, one of the leading global pension funds joins us on our mission to support people to participate in the long-term growth of the economy.
“We are amid a transformation of pension systems in Europe. The financing will help us to invest strongly into product innovation to empower millions of Europeans to put their money to work. Improving our valuation in the light of the current market environment is a true testament to our progress in the last twelve months and the large potential ahead.”
The extension follows Trade Republic’s Series C financing round last year, which was led by Sequoia with participation from TCV, Thrive and the previous investors Accel, Founders Fund, Creandum, and Project A.
