⚡ Freedom24 Eyes Switzerland as European Expansion to Move Into Wealth Management

Freedom24, the European arm of Nasdaq-listed Freedom Holding Corp., is evaluating Switzerland as its next expansion target as the fintech broadens beyond traditional brokerage into wealth management and banking services. The company is specifically eyeing Geneva as a potential technology integration hub, combining Swiss private wealth expertise with its proprietary AI-driven platforms including Tradernet and Neo Compliance.

The move follows Freedom24’s recent push for a European banking licence and opening its Tradernet platform to AI tools last month. The firm currently operates across the EU and EEA under its Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission licence, serving over 600,000 clients. CEO Evgenii Tiapkin indicated Geneva could serve as a strategic base for merging relationship-based wealth management with Freedom Group’s technological infrastructure.

Any Swiss operations will require separate regulatory authorization beyond Freedom24’s existing MiFID II framework. The company plans engagement with Swiss financial and technology sectors as the market assessment progresses.

Freedom24’s wealth management pivot signals intensifying competition in European private banking, potentially pressuring traditional Swiss wealth managers to accelerate their own digital transformation initiatives.
