“Our suite of Tier 1 banking services has been specifically developed to enable ambitious businesses to make faster, more effective payments, access investment products and embrace digital trading with complete confidence. For too long, fast-growing SMEs have been overlooked by the established banks and institutions, and we’re here to change that. This major funding round will go directly towards expanding our expertise, developing new products and offering companies access to all the services they need to thrive, but have been denied,” Kevin von Neuschatz, the Group CEO of Stanhope Financial Group, commented.
Mohit Davar, the Executive Chairman of Stanhope Financial Group, added: "These are exciting times for Stanhope Financial Group, and this investment will enable us to further expand our key divisions which have already made huge inroads into the market. I want to take this opportunity to thank all investors, especially Gate Ventures, for the confidence they have shown in the team to continue to deliver on its strategic plans and create tremendous shareholder value."
