Zurich-based fintech startup Numbrs claims to work with the mission to aggregate and neutrally analyse all financial information to help their users live a healthier financial life. Now, the company announced that it closed a funding round in December 2020.
Eyes to accelerate growth
Numbrs announced the completion of its fundraising activities for 2020. As per the company, it raised a total of CHF 27M (nearly €25M). Swiss investment firm, Saidler & Co Finance AG led the company’s latest investment round that it secured in December last year, which contributed an additional CHF 7M (nearly €6.5M), thereby taking the total funding raised in 2020 to CHF 17.5M (nearly €16.3M). Previously, the company raised €36M in August 2019 to expand internationally.
The Swiss fintech will use the investment to accelerate its growth and roll out its new subscription-based business model in the UK and Germany. The startup’s key initiatives for 2021 include market entry into three additional European markets such as Spain, Italy, and France and the development of new functionalities of its cutting-edge technology.
