“We have always admired Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for being at the forefront of innovation and digitalization, that is why we have planned to come to the Baltic market for quite some time. Freedom Finance first appeared in the EU market in 2015. Currently, our Freedom24 platform is used by 400,000 clients with over 10M transactions monthly. The investment culture in the Baltic States is rapidly developing, so expanding to this region helps us a lot in enriching the client base,” said Freedom Finance founder and CEO Timur Turlov.
