“We are very pleased to have engaged US Capital Global Securities as we continue to take digital banking to a new level internationally,” said Jason Blick, CEO at EQITrade. “We believe the banking industry – with its old technology, local operating model, and expensive cash handling – is overdue for an overhaul, and EQIBank is leading the way. US Capital Global is a full-service global financial services group with a strong focus in the FinTech and RegTech arenas, making the group a perfect fit for EQIBank.”
“We are excited to be supporting a global, market-disruptive FinTech firm like EQITrade,” said Charles Towle, CEO at US Capital Global Securities. “The past few years have demonstrated the immense popularity of digital banking platforms, such as Monzo and Chime, but EQIBank’s vast global reach, tax-neutral status, and high-barriers to entry are a welcome evolution in this new approach to banking. In addition to serving as lead placement agent on an upcoming $5 million capital formation, we will be providing EQITrade with an initial tranche from our own balance sheet through our US Capital Global Business Credit Income Fund LP.”
