“We’ve always been a well-financed company. For us it’s an opportunity to raise more capital. Every company at this time is very much focusing on the next two to three years and how we get through the crisis. We just want to be very well-prepared and that’s why we decided to raise more capital now.” -N26 CEO Valentin Stalf in an interview with CNBC.
