Taaleri Plc has decided to exercise its option to acquire an additional 7.3% holding in Fellow Finance Oy, as outlined in the shareholders’ agreement signed in 2015. After the transaction Taaleri’s shareholding in Fellow Finance, which offers a crowdfunding platform for companies and for consumers, will increase to 45.7%. The transaction is scheduled to be realized in April-May.
Taaleri believes that the growth in crowdfunding will continue as one of the most significant changes in the finance industry in the future. There will be an increasing shift from bank-centric financing to direct financing as a source of financing both for households as well as Small and medium-sized enterprises.
