Crowdberry launches new investment campaign as an ECSP-licensed platform since the summer
31/10/2023
A new investment campaign already under the European licence of the National Bank of Slovakia, new processes and even greater security when investing under the supervision of the capital market: all this to further fulfil the parameters of a premium investment platform, which has been operating in Slovakia since 2015 and registered more than 1,500 new investors in 2023 alone.
Crowdberry, a Czech-Slovak investment platform, obtained a license for crowdinvesting from the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) over the summer and is currently launching its first investment opportunity under the new regulation. The platform is also passported for the Czech market, where Crowdberry also operates, and we are working on the preparation of further campaigns, which will bring new product. This was presented to investors separately during November 2023.
What does the NBS licence mean?
It took about a year to obtain the licence and is linked to a very welcome new European regulation. During this period, the platform went through a rigorous vetting process by the NBS, where the company provided the regulatory authorities with information on corporate governance, the course of investment campaigns, and how the internal processes related to investing are set up. In addition, the license will also bring the long-awaited secondary market for the sale or purchase of shares after the investment campaigns are completed.
Investing on the platform as you know it, with only minor changes
Being NBS licensed allows Crowdberry to provide investment services in accordance with current legislation across the EU, with investing remaining as simple and transparent as ever. In particular, the change brings strict accountability of companies over the quality of the data they provide, as well as an investor verification process. In order to be able to invest in target companies and go through the investment documentation, we will verify your identity through your ID card. The new investment questionnaire will help you to evaluate whether this form of investing is suitable for you.
