Dutch digital bank Bunq to create 17 jobs in Ireland as part of global expansion

Ali Niknam previously said the sweet spot for Bunq was when Ulster Bank and KBC had first halted banking operations in the Republic, but the Irish market remained on his radar.

Earlier this year, Bunq announced plans to roll out its travel insurance offering for customers in the Republic, in a bid to enter the global insurance market.

Dutch-owned digital bank Bunq announced it will recruit 17 new staff in Ireland as it continues to grow in the market.

The new roles are part of global expansion plan to swell its total headcount by 70%, exceeding 730 staff, by the end of 2024 to accommodate an increasing number of workers that are choosing location-independent careers.
