Finary, the Paris-based FinTech tackling wealth management with a tech-first, transparency-led approach, has raised a €25 million Series B round to fuel expansion and enhance its product suite.
The latest funding brings in heavyweight backer PayPal Ventures alongside returning investors Y Combinator, Speedinvest, Kima Ventures, LocalGlobe, Hedosophia, and angel investors including Harsh Sinha (CTO of Wise), Axel Weber (former president of the German central bank and former chairman of UBS), Steve Anavi, Alexandre Prot (Qonto), and Eric Demuth (Bitpanda).
“At Finary, our mission is to give power to investors and help them achieve their financial goals. By combining financial tools and education at scale, we’re removing the barriers that prevent Europeans from investing. This Series B funding gives us even more resources to accelerate our work by investing heavily in AI, Engineering and Growth. We’re delighted to welcome PayPal Ventures on board,”,” said Mounir Laggoune, CEO and Co-founder at Finary.
Founded in 2021 by Mounir Laggoune and Julien Blancher, the startup has gained traction in France with an all-in-one platform that simplifies investing for over 600,000 users.
With the new capital, Finary plans to deepen its offering through Finary One, its private-wealth service, and launch AI-driven wealth management tools tailored to the evolving financial habits of Europeans.
The company also aims to introduce new savings products, including a brokerage account, savings and retirement accounts, and access to new asset classes – all designed to give users a more complete and independent wealth management experience.
“At Finary, our approach fundamentally rethinks wealth management to lead with technology, transparency, and independence. Our users are at the heart of everything we do, and our mission is to help them take back control of their finances with a straightforward, all-in-one app. As we expand our App, our technology will enable millions of Europeans to invest with a tailor-made service previously reserved for a privileged few,” adds Laggoune.
Finary’s timing is strategic. European investors are navigating a challenging landscape, with €13.9 trillion currently tied up in accounts yielding less than inflation, ageing pension systems under pressure, and a massive generational wealth transfer on the horizon.
The startup sees its role as a facilitator for millennials and Gen Z inheriting assets – 87% of whom are expected to change their financial adviser by 2030.
“We’re proud to support Finary and have been impressed by their innovative approach to wealth management and investing. With its simple, transparent, and low-cost platform, Finary is enabling French investors to take control of their savings – and grow their holdings by rethinking their investment strategy. We see tremendous growth potential as the company looks to replicate this success across Europe,” said Alex Bottenbruch, Partner at PayPal Ventures.
Beyond its main platform, Finary has already expanded into cryptocurrency investing and launched Finary Life, a next-generation life insurance product built with BlackRock and Generali. Finary One, the premium wealth management service, is open to users with over €500k in investable assets, reflecting the startup’s ambition to cater to both novice and seasoned investors.
With share capital of €1,625,000 and operating as a Financial Investment Adviser and Insurance Broker under the oversight of French regulatory bodies, Finary looks to position itself as a trusted and independent alternative to traditional wealth institutions.
With fresh backing and ambitious plans to hire over 50 new team members, Finary appears ready to not just democratise investing in France – but to scale that vision across Europe.
