Its presence across EMEA and India as well as its existing portfolio of clients is expected to further expand Bambu’s reach in the global digital wealth market.

Bambu CEO Ned Phillips said: “This deal helps us in three key areas: it expands our product offering into stocks and crypto, it gives us a wider global footprint and enables us to scale our team effectively to match exponential demand.”

“We believe this positions us well for our Series C and ambitions of becoming the global leader in WealthTech,” Phillips added.

Founded in 2016, Bambu caters to more than 20 financial institutions globally with subsidiary in the UK and the US and EMEA representatives.

In the same year, DriveWealth collaborated with Bambu to launch a new robo-advisory platform for wealth management professionals in the US.
