By having its users at the heart of the business and building a product rooted in their wants and needs, bunq quickly scaled to become the second-largest neobank in the EU. Serving those with an international lifestyle across the European Economic Area, bunq makes life easy for location-independent people and businesses, starting from the way they manage money: how they spend, save, budget, and invest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Pioneering many things considered impossible, bunq was the first bank to get a European banking permit in over 35 years, raised the largest series A round ever secured by a European fintech (EUR193 million), and was the first EU neobank to achieve structural profitability at the end of 2022. On its mission to build the first global neobank for digital nomads, in April 2025, bunq announced it's fast-tracking its entry in the US by applying for a broker-dealer license and planning to reapply for the full banking license later the same year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> About Ascenda\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Ascenda powers many of the world's most iconic financial services products, enabling high-value, personalized rewards experiences that drive profitable behavior.
