CEO of digital bank Bunq pledges to expand in Ireland

The chief executive of the Dutch-owned digital bank Bunq said he plans to expand in Ireland, but added it may have missed the most opportune time to do so.

Speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon, CEO Ali Niknam said the sweet spot for Bunq was when Ulster Bank and KBC had first halted banking operations in the Republic, but that the local market was still on his radar.
