A partnership between Seedrs, Form3, and LHV UK will allow instant and faster payment processing.
The collaboration will enable Seedrs to utilize real-time payments for a more efficient and effective service to customers and boost their European customer offering.
To increase its customer offering, Seedrs, the leading private investment platform with over £1.9 billion ( $2.25 billion) invested to date, is partnering with Form3 and LHV UK as well as UK Faster Payments and SEPA Instant Payments in Europe.
Charlie James, Seedrs’s Head of Finance & Business Intelligence, commented: “As a leading private investment platform, we need partners that can provide payments and services that make investing on our platform seamless, transparent, and quick to support. In Form3 and LHV UK, we’ve found agile and reliable collaborators who can help Seedrs expand its UK and European offering.”
It is thought that new payment capabilities will help Seedrs help retail investors invest faster and easier in innovative, fast-growing European businesses. By integrating Form3, Seedrs’ users can fund their accounts in real-time while adhering to banking regulations.
